Windows 8.1 Tiles Does not Update and shows Arrow-Down Signs

Hello,

I remember I installed Avast Free 2014, then maybe afterwards it caused my apps to show those arrow down signs and not be 'live'. Is it really because of Avast Antivirus?

The Apps Troubleshooter cannot help me.

I had installed Windows 8.1 and had this problem.

Simply uninstalled and then re-installed each one and now the problem is gone.

THIS is the solution to the problem.

You have to manually delete and reinstall each and every app that doesnt't update on its own. Only Microsoft apps show this problem, all the other ones do not need to be reinstalled.

Please note that this problem is NOT related, in any way, with Avast.

    I posted another reply today but my issue is, the internet does not work at all after Avast made me update to Avast 2014. 

    I've updated my RealTek drivers, uninstalled Avast, there is an issue with Avast 2014+ Win8

    My CPU is a Asus G72 laptop.

    *when Avast 2014 is installed and updated there are no issues until you RESTART
