    It is a non sense already! Since November 14 the Microsoft Store is unaccessible  for Windows 8.1 phones. However the official shutdpwn date announced by Microsoft is December 16-th.!!! What is this? Microsoft is laughing on us?! Will never buy a Microsoft device/OS  again!

    hello,I am using Windows 8.1 phone. In my windows store getting error code c101a006 , so I am eable to download any app from Windows store. So please solve my problem or technical difficulties to Windows 8.1 device. Please quickly solve. Please help.

    Every few months Microsoft develop an issue with access to the Store, generally for WP8.1 devices. It usually takes a couple of days to fix, please wait and do not do any resets or firmware reinstalls on your devices.
