Hello!
I am currently having a big problem installing apps on my laptop running window 8.1. I select install the app I want. The store downloads it and "installs" it. The files are hidden in the program files however in the start menu the app icon is just a box. When i click on it, it says that there is a problem and it cannot be opened. And suggesting that the store would repair the install. I have tried that but no luck. No apps seems to be working that I download and i cant delete them because there is no such option in the start menu. And then manually deleting the files is also impossible because windows blocks it even when i have admin rights.

Is it a store related problem or what? Please help.
Thank you!

Thanks for your help even tough none of the suggested procedures helped. I tried to restore my Laptop back to the 17th when the windows 8.1 update was installed. The laptop failed to restore the system to that point two times. However, this fixed the problem. Now the apps installs and works properly.

Weird bug?
