1. Have you made any changes on the computer prior to this?

Hi, have not made any changes to computer prior to this. Everything was fine, just that I wanted to access a 'locked' folder so i tried to change the permissions.  See below screeneshot for example of the error:

Are you trying to get into C:\Program Files\WindowsAPPs  folder because windows store is not updating?

Yes i was, but to check where my purchased games were located only. The store seemed fine as its a relatively new pc.

Hello,

Kindly check my last response to Hsienz's post in this thread and follow the instructions I have provided.

Jamille,

I have the exact same problem.  Trying to peruse the folder for Candy Crush Soda in the WindowsApps folder I get the message that I need permission, etc.  Then, when trying to modify permissions for this folder (so I can read the contents) I get the error message "This access control entry is corrupt.  Delete it and create a new one."  So, at your suggestion, I ran SFC /scannow and got the message: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."  I conclude that there is nothing wrong with my system except that I cant repair the app named "Candy Crush Soda".

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Running the troubleshooter verifies that the Windows Store Cache may be damaged but doesn't fix anything.
