Windows 8 App Store not working

[yas1320]

Hi

I have an issue on my sister's laptop. She is running Windows 8, we want to install Windows 8.1, to do that we need to go to te store. But the store won't load. It opens up and I'm getting a green screen with Windows logo, then it just loads and loads. please help.

Try do a store reset first by running wsreset.exe at Start Screen.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I have tried resetting by wsreset.exe, however, still not working.

The system probably ran some tweak tool of the OS, and screw stuff up.

I had this, when I was trying tweaking tool during the Windows 8 beta days, as I was curious.

After some digging, this is what I had to do to fix it:

Open PowerShell as Admin (Win+Q, and type PowerShell, right-click on the result and select "run as Administrator")

Then put: Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

And hit Enter.

Once its executed, restart the computer, you should work. Else, do wsreset.exe again, and now it should work.

I Have just tried this and still doesn't work.  Any other suggestions?

You can try download Windows Repair (All-in-One) and use repair no. 28,29. Create System Restore first in case thing get screw up.
