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...

    Hi Luis,

    I don't have Corel installed but do have issues with installing new apps and updating existing apps from the Windows Store.  I did try making a new local administrator account but none of the standard apps (including the store) actually installed for the account.

    If I run the PowerShell command I get the following:

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed.

    Please contact your software vendor. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF9)

    error 0x80070003: AppX Deployment operation failed. The specific error text

    for this failure is: RDSAppXNotifyRecoveryTrigger

    NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId]

    8e1e5416-f05d-0001-c454-1e8e5df0ce01 in the Event Log or use the command line

    Get-AppxLog -ActivityID 8e1e5416-f05d-0001-c454-1e8e5df0ce01

    At line:1 char:1

    • Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register

    $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxM ... 

    • 

    
    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\AppxManifest.XM  

   L:String) [Add-AppxPackage], IOException  

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageMa  

   nager.Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand

Any suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated, hitting my head against a brick wall at the moment.

    Hi Tim,

    The Windows team has identified the issue related to Corel and is working on releasing a patch ASAP. It might be next week, although we cannot guarantee that it will be released by then.

    In my blogI mention how to check if your registry keys are correct, if you get the error number mentioned there. If you already tried that I would suggest that you wait for the patch.

    If you are getting another error, please post a screen shot of what happens when you run the powershell command.

    Have been trying this and it does not work.

    I have read that installing Corel X3 causes the Store and Metro apps to fail, I have uninstalled X3 but still have the problem, how can I restore my Apps

    Thanks on anticipation

    Tim
