How To Fix Windows 8.1 Apps Locked
A few people have experienced this problem when upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. Somehow the Registry and permissions are set incorrectly after the update and need to be corrected. We found a couple of solutions to th e problem and you can read a rather long and complicated one at bit.ly/apps. However, we’ve also found a slightly shorter solution. On the Start screen, type command, right-click Command Prompt in the search pane and select ‘Run as administrator’. In the command prompt window, type:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy
Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage
-DisableDevelopmentMode
-Register $Env:SystemRoot\
WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
That’s one command, all on one line. Press Enter, then type:
start “” “ms-windows-store:”
Th ere’s no space between the first two quotes. Close the Command Prompt window and you should find that you can access the Windows Store, and your apps are updated and working.
