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.

    Removing the above mentioned update and running wsreset.exe fixed the issue for me as well.

    My version of 8 was preinstalled and 8.1 was an upgrade from the store after I brought the machine home.  Worked for a while.  Now store doesn't recognise it and I can't use downloaded apps.

    Why buy anything in the Store when you have no guarantee you can access it?

    While I admire that you have found a potential solution for us it bothers me that:

    1 - Microsoft caused it

    2 - Microsoft doesn't provide the answer

    3 - Microsoft Store seems to be extremely sensitive to interruptions and disconnects

    4 - Microsoft apps can be unusable for the smallest reason

    5- Microsoft 8.1 was supposed to solve how bad windows 8 was but didn't

    6 - I have no guarantee that anything I buy at the Windows Store will be accessible

    So s/w on discs are definitely safer, XBOX has major, major issues as a source of games and 8.1 was a superficial update.

    i have the same problem at first, I got scared but i did a system restore since i might install a program that might affect it and the store worked but after i did an update it gave me the error and i thought it was only happening to me
