Kriz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Since updating to 8.1 keep getting the error code 0x80246007 when attempting to install any new applications :s Also, has anyone had any major issues in using a Gmail account as the main email account? Read a few disconcerting reports that only @hotmail, @live @outlook work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried running wsreset? Have you tried the Windows 8 Apps troubleshooter? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app Edited January 8, 2014 by zhangm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
