Windows 8 app store and PC Settings won't open.

Anonymous

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?

Performed all these steps to no avail. Bought full version of 8.1 and installed fresh without CorelDraw X3. Everything's fine now.

I have 100% same symptoms on my 5 different W8.1 units. I´m using OSD imagining in lab enviroment, so I have few Computers with 8.1 installed. I ran MS diagnostic posted here before, and only possible reason it gave - missin MSN account. I don´t think accessing PC Settings has something to do with MSN account.

I just tried this, as well, and also was not able to open the app store as I have been having issues with nothing showing up on my start screen.
