0x80240437 Windows 8 Store error while installing apps

I am not an expert (nor do I play one on TV) but it seems that this warning " WARNING: updateId was already suspended for pending dynamic refresh of 403. BITS job{E453C5D0-8EE6-42D5-9A96-C2C6C3DD71ED}, updateId = 2CE6F542-0A50-4724-8AB2-0A99A00B4EA9.1; ignoring..." may be the root of the problem. BITS is the service that lets the updates communicate and the service is suspended before download even begins.

I found this at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc720473(v=WS.10).aspx

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is the service used by WSUS to download updates from Microsoft Update to the main WSUS server, as well as from WSUS servers to their clients. BITS also supports the transfer of files between peer computers in a domain.

Some download issues may be caused by problems with running BITS on the server or client computers. When you are troubleshooting download problems, after you have verified that all WSUS settings are correct on both the server and its clients, you should ensure that BITS is running properly on all affected computers.

BITS provides a downloadable tool called bitsadmin that allows you to verify and change BITS settings. For more information about the bitsadmin utility, see BITSAdmin Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=80934). This tool is available as part of the Windows Vista operating system, and also as part of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools.

I don't know that it is specifically related to Win 8 but based on what I am reading from the log it may help. The other procedure from "I aim to misbehave" worked for my system so I am not going to mess with it while it is working. :-)

Tried Methods 1 and 2 (others not valid) - didn't help. Using Windows RT on ARM-processor tablet. Try to really do something!

This has also happened to me. I was notified (in windows store) that there were updates to finance, sports, news, travel, Kindle. None of them will update and now I cannot install any new apps. It just says it could not install the update and uses error code: 80240437. As far as I can tell that is MS speak for "I don't know what happened!"

It has also happened this week to my daughters new dell tablet. I am running Windows 8 Pro and she is running Windows 8 RT. We have run the troubleshooter, the wsreset, checked the proxy, and are both using the MS virus checker. Based on the recent flurry of posts across the web I am beginning to think it is an update MS sent out. Short of completely stripping and reloading the machine, anyone have any more ideas? I have the same issue and cannot find a fix anywhere on the web! Windows 8 is junk! I have had my machine for 5 days and everything worked fine until yesterday 8/29/13 and no matter what I try I cannot fix this error. MS doesn't know their **** from their elbow! I am seriously considering taking this machine back and going to an Apple. Why people are forced into buying a non functioning OS rather than having the option to have Win7 is madness!!!! I hate you Bill Gates!!!!! I have been a loyal PC guy my entire life and this is what I get? A busted **** OS that MS employees cannot fix!!!! Figures! You would think this would be priority for them, but I guess pocketing my $$$ for a OS that doesn't work is more important. The world should work on freeware!!!!

I have a sony windows 8. All other procedures did not work. I refreshed and reinstalled updates but created lots of restore points along the way.  System now works wonderfully. It was probably one of the updates that messed up the windows store but seems to be fine now.

GRAZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Problema risolto
