This error code suddenly appears in WIndows 8 Store when trying to install or update apps....  Solutions to this have not yet been found.

There are many references to some date and time issues but they are correct on my Computer.

I did use the troubleshouter for Windows update which states that something has been corrected.

There are errors in my Event logs...

ID 36888 System Log; A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 10. The Windows SChannel error state is 10.

this is a fairly new Installation...

    Try this - it worked for me. I was beating my head against a wall.

     

    Open Computer Management >Services & Applications > Services

    Stop "Background Intelligent File Transfer" & Windows Update services

    Delete contents of "c:\Windows\Software Distribution" folder

    Restart above services

    Open control panel and run Windows Update

    Open App Store and open settings

    Run App update and install updated apps

     

    Good Luck

    I tried everything else in this thread (except one that was similar to this, but more involved...that one was next on my list), and this was what FINALLY worked for me.

    Thank you, Gretchen!!

    This also worked for the most part for my HP Envy X2 -- having a few other issues with another error code (0x80070067), but I can get apps and most things will update now.

    The same happened to me. Win8 pro, no corporate LAN, no proxy. I simply cannot install any more apps.
