    I'm having this problem as well but I don't even get to start downloading anything. It just says 0% then 'Something happened' along with the error 0x80240031

    Has anyone tried installing this update after doing a reset of Windows 8?

    I was having the same problem. I tried multiple times and no luck. I went to windows update and installed all of the updates that were listed, then went back to the App Store and tried the update and finally it worked.
