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...

I'm sorry it does not work for me.

I've triedt the apps.diag.cab as well (by the way many times) and many other things.

The Problem persists still I've upgraded from Win7 64 Bit to Windows 8 64 bit.

Than I tried all the stuff, OLE Registr., Diag cab, sfc /scannow, WSRESET and all what I've found in the correspunding Internet forums).

Including a complete refresh which actually didn't work too.

The store does not open and WSRESET produces an error message.

In Windows 8 bla bla Licence Problem (which is common known on the Internet)

In Windows 8.1: "ms-windows-store:PurceCaches" konnte nicht gefunden werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass sie den Namen richtig eingegeben haben und wiederholen Sie den Vorgang.

I've put all my hopes in the upgrade to Windows 8.1 but this didn't resolve the Problem as well.

Hope anyone has an idea .... Thanks in advancve.

This solution worked permanently for me and many others.

Other options include running this little tool and following its suggestions:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/4/F24D0C03-4181-4E5B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/apps.diagcab

... and also running wsreset.exe in a Command Window.

Please note the descriptions of what happens when these are run in my earlier post above.

I'm very glad your excellent suggestion has worked in many cases but remain frustrated by mine.
