3 days before my Windows 8.1 pc wasn't working during log in it showed up with "The System Event Notification Service service failed the sign in."
I posted this thread but no one replied then back yesterday I ran it into Safe Mode and used the CMD and put these "sfc/scannow" then the PC booted into Safe Mode.
But in my Start Menu many apps won't open accept Facebook, Twitter, Photos and the Store opens, and when I goto install apps it shows "This app wasn't installed"

And my Start menu is like this:

And the "sfc/scannow" command shows that there are Corrupted or Missing Files
Then I also did these:

  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    But then also no luck please suggest me what to do
I updated my PC from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 4 days before
And this happened 3 days before
And the PC started to boot from yesterday.
Please reply Please

Windows Firewall is disabled

Seems like, if the Windows Firewall is disabled, you will not be able to install application from Windows Store. So the first thing you have to check is whether the Windows 8 Firewall is turn off or not. To access it on Metro screen, just type in Windows Firewall, open it and make sure it’s turned on.
If some strange reason your unable to turn on Windows Firewall, check if the Windows Firewall service is stopped. On the Metro screen type in Services and look for Windows Firewall. Now make sure that the service is set to automatic and started.

I
ncorrect Date and Time


If you have incorrect Date and Time being set on your computer, you’ll have issues installing applications from Windows Store. So make sure you have the correct date, time. You can change it from Regional Settings from the Control Panel.

Licensing on Windows Store is not synced


If the licensing on the Windows Store is not synced properly, you will not be able to install apps on your Windows 8 computer. To manually sync it:

  • Go to Windows Store
  • Press Windows Key + C
  • Open Settings
  • Select App Updates
  • Sync Licenses
  • Now reboot the system and try to download again.

Restart the computer, Try again.

I try to run the second command and before I press start, it says "access denied"
P.S. I have all of the permissions on now I didn't before I had this problem which came after my hard drive suddenly developed some random boot errors (which I cleaned up by plugging it into my desktop and defragmenting and repairing).
P.P.S, it won't let me update either.
