Brink - I get this error frequently. When I tried your tutorial for manually syncing my Store apps, I found that I'm not Signed In to Store. No surprise because (a) I use only a local account on the Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit machine anyway and (b) I have never manually downloaded anything from Store - it doesn't interest me at all.
So I was unable to follow the next steps in your tutorial.
Why is my PC trying to sync with Store if I never go there and I never sign in to it? Is this due to automatic action by the initial tiles in the Metro desktop that I almost never go to? (I boot up into normal desktop, not Metro.) How can I get my 8.1 to stop trying to sync?
Thanks.

- Also have an old but important XP SP3 machine still running - Optiplex 755 Desktop w 4GB RAM and 180 GB HD. Used the registry hack to get more updates through "XP Embedded" or "POS" so now the machine rings like a cash register and the CD drawer opens to give change.
