Store not opening after update to Windows 8.1

    Question


  • On opening the store, the Windows Store loading screen gets stuck in perpetual loop without end.
    I have tried out the fixes mentioned in some blogs and posts but none of them solved the problem.
    I have tried solutions from this blog, all four of them. But still facing the same issue.

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/notime/archive/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1.aspx

    I have opened Command Prompt in administrator mode and used four commands mentioned below. 

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\camera\AppxManifest.xml

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\FileManager\AppxManifest.xml

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml


    So all these fixes did not work for me. Please suggest me an alternative.
