Just updated to Windows 8.1 and the Windows Store app will no longer open

Anonymous

Help! Just updated to Windows 8.1 through the windows store. Now it will no longer open.

Event Viewer:

Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

Also, my AV was uninstalled, my right clicking does not work, my VPN broke...

Please run the following in a Command Window to re-register the Store app:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

Memeo is uninstalled for the Moment.

I got Updates for VCR120 via Windows Updates and about 40 APP-Updates in multiple steps (see System-LOG, Event 17).

So, unfortunatelly resetting store-Proxy in an elevated CMD:

netsh

winhttp

import Proxy source=ie

restart pc

was not the solution.

Meanwhile I got Event-ID 5973 from Source Apps in Application-LOG.

Finally, after working overtime, in the very Moment it seems, this fixed it for me:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2798317

a) Setting Registry-Permissions to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drivers as described in the article.

b) Setting File System Rights to C:\Program Files which is C:\Programme (X86) AND ADDITIONALLY D:\Programme (X86) cause I got Windows on SSD (C:) with an additional Program-Folder on HDD (D:)!

Store can be opened now.

Short startmenu (Win+X) is working.

Addendum Nov. 08, 2014:

-Update MS Windows .net Framework!

This is not always included in Automatic Updates and has to be downloaded manually from Microsoft. In the Moment: Version 4.5.2

Welcome back Win 8.1, now go back to work...

having trawled through pages and pages of official Microsoft Support guidance (none of which worked, all of which took a lot of time) - at last, some simple, decent advice that worked. I'm reasonably technical but can't fathom how I was supposed to work this one out post upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1

Thank you Luis.

Our whole house hates Windows 8 (and 8.1) It has been a total (expensive and time consuming) disaster for me.....just wonder if microsoft also feeling if Win8 is an expensive and time consuming disaster?

I also tried everything and it turned out to be an issue with Windows Update.

Try:

Reset Windows Update components and check if it resolves the issue. Refer to the link and run the Fixit to try and reset the components:

for you is so simple, but for me ......not

what do you mean "run a trace" and then "stop the trace"

when I click Process Monitor start to run but they have not any button to stop as you wrote to step 4

aslo how can I do this:
1. Apply the registry filter if you did not do so yet
