    Finally figured it out!

    I have spent HOURS and HOURS with this same problem, but I figured it out and thought I should share. I had McAffee anti-virus software, and I read on here and other sites that anti-virus software can get in the way, so I removed it through Add/Remove programs in the control panel. THAT DIDNT WORK, so I moved on to a million other possible causes. (Hence the hours of work). Finally, I circled back to the ALREADY REMOVED McAffee and looked into that further. Apparently there is a special McAffee tool that will REALLY remove their crap from your computer. After using that, the Win8 Apps worked immediately. And Microsoft had a whole collection of similar tools for a bunch of other makes of anti-virus software. The stupid rules on this forum wont let me post the link, but you can search the Microsoft support forums for it. I hope this saves someone from the hell I just went through!
