Gerrand finally figure out that it had to do with the Windows Live account. However, none of the options on my older post seemed to work on this machine. He also mentions running wsreset, which seemed to have worked for a minute, but the second I tried to click on anything in the Store, it reverted back to giving me the same error message. I had actually tried most of those options because it happened to be once before and I wrote a post about fixing the Cannot Connect to Store problem on my other blog. I was definitely connected to the Internet because I could browse using IE and Chrome, so it was befuddling why I couldn’t connect to the Store or why certain apps would not work.Įventually, I ran into a post by Gerrand on his blog talking about how all the usual methods for fixing this problem have not worked: checking the date/time on your computer, using the netsh and wsreset commands, using a local account instead of an online account and trying to refresh your PC.
For some odd reason, several apps would not connect to the Internet and I could not connect to the Windows Store. I recently came back from a 3 month trip and turned on my Windows 8.1 machine to find that nothing worked.
