Windows 8 app store and PC Settings won't open.

Windows 8 app store and PC Settings won't open

 and I put my pc in Safe mode

and now I cant do any thing

I have 100% same symptoms on my 5 different W8.1 units. I´m using OSD imagining in lab enviroment, so I have few Computers with 8.1 installed. I ran MS diagnostic posted here before, and only possible reason it gave - missin MSN account. I don´t think accessing PC Settings has something to do with MSN account.

Did you take the battery out or unplugged it when it was on or did your power go out if so this was my case my power went out for a few second and then i could not open the store. any other apps exaspt desktop and pc setting. i have windows 8.1 

I have been having almost the same problem for several months. None of my metro apps, including windows store and PC settings, would open. The only exceptions were apps that open in desktop view, and the desktop app itself.

I found that that other profiles on the computer worked fine.   BTW I have win8.1

Simple Fix

1.   Backup all files to an external hard drive, flash drive, etc.

2. delete broken account

3.   Create another account on your computer, you can do this by switching to another account and going   to PC settings - Accounts - other accounts - Add account

4. create account with same Microsoft account used for the original, broken, account

5. open it up every thing should be fixed, and settings saved.

6. reload files from external hard drive, flash drive, etc.

Your Done!

Note: I am pretty Shure this doesn't work if you don't have a profile that's not broken, because there is no way,(to my knowledge) to create a new account or delete an existing account. This is because these options are only in PC settings which is inaccessible on a broken account.

Hello,

I had this problem , it is now fixed,

first make sure you set you country and language settings right to your real country you live in.

the open  : Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting

then click on  : fix problems with windows update

Click : next

Click : Try Troubleshooting as an Administrator

Click : close 

restart you pc.

the try to update your apps on the app store.

hope this solve your problem.

I certainly did not expect this to work but it did for me. I hope this helps others as well.
