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, this issue may finally be resolved!  Try MS .Net Framework 4.5.2 update.

    Late January my system had just "locked out" bluetooth again (i.e. no PC Settings anymore - also noted the Weather app was dead too) & I was just about to re-do my steps posted above but I noticed Windows Update was still working & there was a few updates waiting to be installed (including a very large one - MS .Net 4.5.2).

    I installed the updates & viola problem resolved!  I never even had to elevate my account to Administrator!

    Here's the list of updates I took that day.  I recommend trying the MS .Net Framework 4.5.2 Update & others if you're still having problems.

    Can someone verify if Windows Store Apps and/or PC Settings were modified by any other updates to confirm???

    KB3004365 - Windows Error Reporting

    KB3019215 - Kernel Mode Driver

    KB3021674 - User Profile Service

    KB3022777 - Network Location Awareness

    KB3023266 - Application Compatibility Cache

    KB3033408 - Adobe Flash in IE

    KB2934520 - MS .Net Framework 4.5.2

    KB2962806 - Mystery Update

    I'll report back if it re-occurs with my non-Admin MS login account, but looking good for the last month!
