Error Code 141078 tells you almost nothing and calling the Microsoft Store does little to help.  There are several work arounds / solutions to this 141078:

1. Confirm your credit card details including the address.
   1. Call your credit card company and see if they have declined the card recently.
   2. This was my most recent solution.  I was using a credit card issued from a US bank but one that was billed to a Canadian address.  Even though I have successfully used that card on Amazon.ca, PayPal, CDW and countless other sites, Microsoft wanted the US address entered.
2. Use a different browser. If you are using Edge, try IE11.  If you are using Chrome, try Edge…
3. Clear your browsers cache and cookies and try again.
