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?

    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.

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