After a clean install of windows 8.1.1 using the ISO from Technet I started getting the following error message in my event log the first time I start my machine in the morning:
Event 512 Store-Licensing "Windows Store failed to sync machine licenses. Result code 0x80070490"
I use a Microsoft account and I have synced by Modern apps many times manually. Running the scheduled task manually will also produce the same error. I disabled the Scheduled Task that runs the sync and I'll see if it shows up tomorrow. Btw, the Store seems to be working fine.
I read somewhere that the MS Store will be changed for 8.1.1 so I wonder if the 'new' store will stop these messages.
The Scheduled Task that kicks this off appears to be Microsoft/Windows/WS and is called WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask.

Hello Ramesh and thank you for your reply.
I had already tried the Method 1 from the KB article (see my post from April 16, 2014) but the problem still persists. I do not want to perform a repair Windows install (Method 2) of the two laptops that exhibit the issue unless there is absolutely no other way (especially that SFC no longer reports any problems after running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth)
Hello,
Thank you for keeping us updated about the issue and sorry for late delayed response. I really appreciate your efforts towards resolving the issue.
I would suggest you to run the fixit provided in the following Microsoft Article. If you want then you can try the manual steps also provided in the link.
Error code 0x80070490 when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Emkay1001,
unfortunately, no changes, same error.
BTW, just in case, the error message I'm getting is in the Store-Client-UI log and is not taken into account by the event logger summary.
I notice just before I have this error another error in Store-Client-UI
Wsreset makes no changes to that
Provider 0 (DiscoveryService) - unable to store result in cache for 0-DiscoveryService-SLS.6.3.9600.0.17031.776.dat
Error: unspecified error
Function: WindowsStoreCache::DoQuery
Source: enduser\winstore\ui\cache.cpp (2066)
I haven't got this error myself.
I believe the file mentioned resides somewhere here:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Store\Cache
From my experience, you can delete the contents of %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Store\Cache and it should be recreated next time you start the Windows Store or the WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask task.
Well having the same problem. The command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth hangs in 20% and then comes with the Error: 0x800f081f
Web search suggests that it may happen if you perform a Windows Update disk cleanup after applying Windows 8.1 Update (I did that myself and did not experience this problem, though).
Somebody posted that running Windows Update Diagnostic Tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058) might help with this error (which supposedly means that DISM cannot obtain source files)
