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...

honestly advice to you all, to first check yr internet connection. If you are using Wi-Fi. pl try with USB dongle or any other means, so that confirm that it is not due to yr connection. 99% problem is due to it. then try all Bla bla bla.

Hello Nitin,

Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

If you are unable to open other Windows apps then I would suggest you to create new Microsoft User Account and check if it helps. But make sure that you should follow the suggestion mentioned under the Create a Microsoft Account.

Create a user account

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-8

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.
