Windows App Store

[munruss]

Hey everyone! Running Windows 8.1 Pro on an ASUS laptop. Since my upgrade to Windows 8.1, I am not able to open the app store. I have narrowed it down to a profile issue. Other accounts on the laptop do not have an issue.

My account is a MS account. I do not sign into the machine locally, however, I have tried to do that and I get the same result.

Before I remove my profile, and create a new one, I want to be able to correct this.

If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

If you can't offer any help, then just stay out of the thread.

It maybe the case that for the account, the Store needs to be re-registered.

This issue can occur when the Windows Store App needs to be re-registered after an upgrade. This can be done as follows:
1. Open a command prompt as administrator.
i. Click on Start, type cmd.
ii. Right click on 'Command Prompt' and click on 'Run as administrator'
2. Type or paste the following command:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
3. Hit enter
4. Type or paste the following command:
start "" "ms-windows-store:"
5. Hit Enter
6. Restart and check if Windows Store is working now

From the start menu, run wscollect - it'll generate a cab file with pertinent logs in it.

Send me a PM if you want, since I cannot PM you.

Thank you. I will try this and see what happens. I would rather not format the machine.

Nah, it was just the final straw that finally got the board to give him the boot.

Did you run wscollect to grab the logs that will likely show what the error is? Let's avoid doing random stuff to his machine 🙂

(FYI - there should be no personally identifiable information in the logs collected by wscollect.)

Does it work any better if you set up a second local user and trying it with that? I'm wondering if it's a userland problem.
