Windows 8, update settings, defender and app shop

I have an almost new Acer 2 in 1 running windows 8 which initially worked fine. Now it will not open the store, will not update virus files, will not open windows update settings in system and security and yet is perfectly happy to perform any other internet based activity. Ideas anyone?

  • is it windows 8 or windows 8.1?


    if not 8.1, you need to go to the "store" and upgrade.


    this should solve lots of issues, not least any frustration with windows 8
    Friendly greeting!

    It is 8.1 and the main part of the problem is that I cannot go to the store. I will try wsreset.exe and also try deleting the cache
