This version of Windows is no longer supported by the Windows Store

Hi,

Two days ago I went to the Windows store to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 Pro. It took a while but the upgrade appears to have worked. But, now when I go to the Windows Store it states that "This version of Windows is no longer supported by the Windows Store".

It recommends I get the newest version of Windows which ultimately leads back to the store with the above error message.

Have I successfully upgraded or not? How can I get the Windows Store working if it has been successful?

Any advice here would be appreciated.

I had Windows 8 Pro before the upgrade and I have never downloaded the Windows 8.1 Preview.

    I was able to finally get the Store running again on my system by going through my updates and getting rid of them.  I tried KB2908174 first, rebooted, and ran wsreset.exe and received the same error message.  However, when I uninstalled KB2887595 and rebooted (these steps took quite some time) and then ran wsreset.exe, the Store began working normally again. 

    KB2887595 is definitely the problem for my system.  After getting the Store to work again, I ran Windows Update and reinstalled KB2887595.  After reboot, I opened the store (again through wsreset.exe) and began receiving the error again.  I'm going to re-un-install the update and will just have to skip updates until the issue is resolved - hopefully soon.

    I have the same scenario, a computer a few months old, updated to 8.1 when it came available and the Store was disabled last night with the install of KB2887595.  I followed RDY2DVE's process and the Store is working again.

    Also to confirm the issue, I have another computer on 8.1 that has not received the KB2887595 update yet and the Store works fine.

    I had this problem which read "this version of windows is no longer supported" as well.  I corrected the problem by performing a system restore previous to the last critical update that I downloaded from Windows. Everything works now except I don't want to do the updated that windows is asking me for now because I believe it is the problem.  Hopefully this works for some of you as well. 

    Microsoft needs to respond to this.
