And some that failed but offered me to fix it through the store, which reinstalled them and brought them back to life. The main thing is that now I have the store and pcsettings back online and can use the stuff I need.
Had to open then they closed immediately then uninstalled then re-installed, each one, one at a time! As 'jerzflow' started, "I tried everything in all the replies of this post and many other post. At this point, having a legal product key,I decided to get an iso of Windows 8.
However, jerflow's next line, "in great despair, since it was corrupt anyway , I decided to do some house cleaning" inspired me to do something desperate, and I had the same kind of magic, IT WORKS now! Make sure you have tried the simple things like being logged on to a windows account and having the right system requirements etc although I doubt you would be here if you had not already tired everything else Anyway, here is what I did.
This is the first time in my many years of computing that I actually took a risk that worked so that others won't have to feel they are risking. Wish you the best! After I tried evrything as the thread said, my apps still will not work, my pc settings, store and internet explorer is ok, but window live apps and apex app stil have cross on them, and when clicked, it will give a solid colour screen. This works Thank you so much for your work and thoughtfulness of sharing.
After spending about 4 hours of searching and trying numerous suggestions I finally came across your post. This finally corrected everything for me.
I'd been going crazy with this issue, and tried everything in probably 20 different posts - this solved it perfectly. I had the problem from an upgrade from Win 7, did a full refresh, tried removing every patch in the system, refreshed again, then forced an update to 8. Thanks a million for this helpful post to you and Andy I couldn't find the packagerepository. Afterwards I did this in CMD. Now I can access my settings! I know this is a very old post, however, I'm posting this for anyone that might've stumbled onto this forum.
The only solution that has worked for is the recimg. I've tried everything! Only using recimg. What's good about recimg. It actually keeps your programs unlike Refresh. It says the firewall from windows isn't active, and i can't activate it. I'm using Norton Internet Security. I downloaded a version of W8. No need to activate, just get it installed. Then my settings app worked again and I did a factory reset with the Windows 8 version that my laptop came with.
I simply could not upload apps unless I upgraded to 8. I have already spend 9 hours trying to fix why the store won't upload and Microsoft won't download updates. I am about ready to return this Win 8 laptop to the store and smash it on the counter from deep frustration. I work with every os microsoft put out in 3 years never had rebuild the machine I got workstation 30k for it.
I have a similar issue where Metro apps including PC settings will not load. I see the splash color screen and then back to the desktop. In my case, however, I am experiencing the problem on one particular login account on a Remote Desktop server. All other users there are about 10 can successfully use the Metro apps. One account, however, cannot. I have reviewed the solutions detailed in this thread; however, I am hesitant to start changing things since everything works fine for 9 out of 10 users.
It would seem this is a permissions issue, although all users are similarly configured as Domain Users with identical rights. I could delete the problem user and then recreate the account, but that introduces complications with regard to shared folders and files that I would rather not deal with now.
Since we use only a couple of Metro Apps, this is not an operational issue. It is, however, on my list of things to fix. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try. I still can't get Windows store to work from the Start screen- my does have a link that works from the internet explorer page. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client.

To get the Inbox Metro Apps working, you need to reload their manifests, too. If you look at number 3 in my original post you will see that I have tried that and yes from an elevated command prompt.
