Every time I click on the app store it starts to open and then closes. I was trying to find a solution to it and one was to do a computer refresh. So i went to do that and thats when I noticed that the pc settings won't open either. I've done most of the methods that have been posted to other people's questions. Is there some other way to refresh?

    can you tell me how you did everything step by step e.g. what you did you do to get the boot-up sequence?

    Yep, I've sat here for 6 hours and tried every remedy I've found on a host of forums. I can't open the App Store and Change PC Settings does absolutely nothing (so I can't refresh the darned thing).

    Every time I hit the Store button I get Event ID 5973 'This app failed to launch because of an issue with its license.'

    C'mon Microsoft - this is simply not good enough.

    I couldn't open app store or windows update, (or for that matter norton)

    I got annoyed, held down my power button until the computer turned off and then turned it back on again and the problems stop, everything now opens, the computer probably didn't shut down properly one time and forcing the shut down must of fixed the problem

    don't work for me
