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?

Will someone answer with a fix please. The same thing is happening with me. The store and change pc settings just open for a second and goes back to the start screen. this makes a lot of windows 8 unusable. which makes my new computer useless. please help Microsoft support answer us as the steps you've mentioned have not worked. a lot of us seem to have this issue. Resolve this please!!!!
I have the same issue, just 'crashes' to the start menu D:
I ended up having to do a Windows Reset by forcing the boot-up sequence to fail by turning the PC off toward the end of boot (since I couldn't enable the Reset using the Windows Settings that failed to load). This wiped all account info (I had previously moved all data files to an external drive), but allowed me to add back each MS account I had on the PC.
I then set Windows Update to allow me to review all updates before installation, so that the Nvidia drivers won't automatically install.
l found a simple solution to the same problem,you have to have windows firewall enabled to connect to windows store,i disabled my AVG firewall and then enabled the windows firewall and was able to go straight to the store.
