Cannot open\load App store with Win 8 Enterprise upgrade


Recommended Posts

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I upgraded my work PC with windows 8 Enterprise edition from win 7. I activated my windows, I signed in with a live account and trusted my PC. Yet the App store will not launch. I get the following error in event viewer:

Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked because of a temporary issue with its license. Try launching the app again in a moment.

Windows.Launch

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this? I am on a work domain is there anyway to troubleshoot it so I know exactly what it is trying to do to tell my network admins if something is blocking the app store. I did run this app apps.diagcab and it said everything is ok. Help please, if not I will need to go back to windows 7. Let me know if you need additional info.

If it's the same issue as Server 2012, if your running as the account named "Administrator", you can't access the store. You have to make a user, give it admin privileges (if you care to) and use that, it will be able to use the store.

This is a MSDN Key I am using. I am logged in as my domain ID with admin privileges. I been reading here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/W8ITProPreRel/thread/acc45e6e-86fe-4928-9f33-429ce8bebc8f that it might be an issue with joining to a domain and GPO is affecting it.

I wish MS had more logging features to show what exactly is causing the issue. any other ideas I can try?

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
