Unable to update Windows 10 due to broken apps and store

[Daniel1992]

I'm trying to update my current genuine Windows 8.1 home to Windows 10. Unfortunately it fails no matter what method I use. I've tried everything. I think it's due to the fact that my windows apps are broken. Same goes for windows store and pc settings. Upon clicking any of the above I get an icon in the taskbar but clicking on it does not reveal any window. Also live update for the tiles associated with apps does not work.

I've tried already :

1. Automatic repair of windows store and apps with a dedicated microsoft app. Output : "Can't find ms-windows-storeurgeCaches"

2. Using automatic registry repair tool called Wise Registry cleaner. Rebooted, nothing changed.

3. Ran 'regedit' and tried to access HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Repository\Packages
Unfortunately, folders 'Repository' and 'Packages' did not exist. Author of the troubleshooting guide available here [FIX] Error "ms-windows-storeurgeCaches" While Resetting App Cache In Windows 8, 8.1 encouraged readers in comments to create these directories if they don't exist. I did so and established the proper permissions.

4. Accessed command prompt as administrator and typed the following chunk of code :

[COLOR=#2A2A2A][FONT=Segoe UI]powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml" and got the following err[/FONT][/COLOR]

. Output was :

I ran out of ideas. Frustration caused by few full days off on this darn update and troubleshooting have made me lose precious time that I could have spent in a more creative way. Can anyone suggest anything that will help me get rid of this problem ? Thanks

Doing it through the forced update will fail. First run the DISM fix, http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26512-dism-fixing-component-store-corruption-windows-8-a.html

You can also download the ISO, which will allow you to upgrade from your desktop, by going to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Download the tool, which will download the ESD-ISO, which you can then do the install.

Use the info I posted. In order to try and force it, you have to do the following. How to force Windows to start downloading the Windows 10 update files | VentureBeat | Business | by Jeff Grubb && Emil Protalinski

It may come back with a failure on two items, do not worry. Reboot and then run the first link from Microsoft.
