Please see the attached GIF/video to see what I'm talking about.. In the last few days with no changes
made to my PC I've seen the 'Sorry, this app is no longer available' Error, and it is some kind of Bug
because I can get the app to appear using the method seen in the video
So, whats up with the Store? Is something broken on either Microsoft's end or my own? Is anyone else
having this issue. Mostly this happens when I click links to apps on External sites like WinBeta or
Neowin etc tho I have seen it happen Searching for apps in the Store app itself. To reproduce find
an external link to an app .. click it, if the Store finds the app without issue close the Store app without
returning to the Store(Home) section. Find another app link and click it
I've just been waiting for a Fix to come along Server side.. as I'm fairly sure I did not change anything,
Store had been working fine for the most part since Win8 Launch
I Recorded an updated video, a better example of the Issue I'm having
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
For anyone still paying attention to this KB problem, after installing ALL other updates for this Patch Tuesday 10 Sept 13(all installed without issue), I went back and restored KB2862768 which I believe initially was Optional, it is now marked as Important
So I've now got KB2862768 installed and this Windows Store issue seems to be gone, I assume
Msft has now fixed this issue, I have every update available installed both optional and important etc
When the fault of the patch is in Microsoft's lap, the support call is comp'd back to the caller. So thanks to Barb, an official case has been opened.
Hopefully the KB will be documented soon with these known issues.
If you'd hide the update, there wouldn't be a problem, right?

Have a wonderful day!
Its a workaround for some for sure, does not negate the fact there is a problem with the KB Update.. the onus should not be on the end user to Hide trouble updates... or even finding bad updates& uninstalling to get things sorted as it obviously leads to frustrating User experience with the OS. Just my 2 cents
Lucky for Msft I like Windows8 and am willing to put up with a few hiccups while building this transitionalOS, your average user would go buy a competing OS/device out of frustration
Your post...does nothing to contribute to helping Microsoft - or anyone else - resolving the problem.
