I can't install new apps or update existing ones. Each time I attempt to install or update through the app store I receive error message 0x80072ee4 or 080073cff. I searched google and unfortunately none of the solutions posited helped. They include: 1. Performing a clean boot. (Disabling all non-microsoft services and startup items) 2. Using the SFC /SCANNOW option to verify the integrity of windows files. 3. Clearing C:/Users/Myusername/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Store and C:/Users/Myusername/AppData/Local/Package to clean the cache files. 4. Clearing C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution and restarting the Windows Update service. 5. Verifying that all windows services are running. 6. Disabling NIS 2013 7. Running troubleshooter Nothing works. Oh and before someone tells me to run the windows restore function. 1. I don't consider that to be a genuine solution. (What if the same thing happens again?) 2. I don't plan on reinstalling all 50 non-windows app store applications.
The troubleshooter says my display adapters may be out of date. Which is not true because I just installed the newest display drivers for Intel HD graphics 3000 which is 10/17/12.
Try to reset your Internet Explorer settings (really). It's on the Advanced Tab in the Internet options of IE, little "Reset" button.
the first error code means store is not able to connect to update server... I donot know about second
Have you disabled Microsoft's own firewall program in services? If you did then re-enable it and test as I killed my (as I use own) and the store stopped working.
Have you tried your system with NIS completely disabled? 2 firewalls is always bad news and never a fan of Norton but perhaps your problem is deeper than this.
Thanks for all your replies. I ended up having to reinstall windows 8. I hope this doesn't happen again. Windows app store is officially the worst app store ever.
Ofc, because you expierenced a bug caused by some 3rd party software, sure makes the Windows Store crap.
