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...
