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...

    OK im already tired of flipping through pages on this forum for an answer. im not an IT consultant i shouldnt have to have a minor in C++ programing to be able to open my windows store. please have a microsoft rep post another possible solution for the masses that still have this continuing issue. this is very frustrating and time consuming, youve already taken up too much of time time and resources. this is your problem. fix it. im sure you can figure out how to get in contact with me without me having to keep an eye on this forum.

    This did not fix my problem. Windows store error on windows 8.1 running on surface pro 2. error code 0x800004005.

    im having the same issue on both my desktop and surface pro. email, calendar, one drive, everything else is working fine but the stupid store.

    entered this code into "Run" (which you should make a little more clear in your half a$$ attempt of a solution that you need to place that code into "Run" and not a "cmd prompt").

    the store rebooted and when i opened it again i was actually able to see the store contents but once i clicked on anything to load the store crashed and im back to square one.

    I hate apple with a passion but man o man microsoft do you guys ever have a lot of annoying issues.... not sure whats worse.
