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...

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...

Previous poster saw a message about Firewall service. What do you see?
Also, in another thread (in a related W10 incident) it looked as if the poster would have to Restart or maybe even stop explorer.exe before being able to perform the suggested PowerShell procedure.

This did not work. All I am seeing is the spinning circle on the splash screen. It does not go forward from this.
