Windows 10 Media Creation Tool Error 0x80072f8f - 0x20000

All great ideas, but none worked for me - and i tried them all to date. My links (websites and documents) are brought in using the hyperlink function. All the actual URLs live on one tab and are brought in onto another sheet via formulas. I have various sheets with different parameters that lookup (index) the multiple lists of URLs. The links in excel work perfectly. However, to PDF, all links go away. Help please!
