SOLVED: Uninstalled Beta drivers using catalyst uninstaller utility (even though it says that it is Windows 7 compatible it works with Windows 8) and installed 13.9 drivers. Should have did a little bit of testing before asking it. :)

When I try to download a game or app off of the Windows Store, the app/game loads its splash screen and then crashes to the Metro UI screen with no error. I did an upgrade from Windows 7 so not sure if this matters.

 

UPDATE: Uninstalled AMD Beta drivers and reverting to 13.9 to see if it fixes it. :)

Somewhat OT, but why are you using it anyway? 

 

The only thing it's good for is the search feature. Otherwise set your program defaults to something else and just pretend it's the dumb kid in the group project. 

Error: 410
