I have a ASUS laptop and sometime ago certain Windows Icons stopped opening. They just spin and spin. I have been trying to find the Windows
8.1 Update to download to see if that will help, however, it looks like I can only get it through the "store". Since the "store" (and mail, and games and any other MS application for that matter) just spins and won't open I am caught
in an endless loop. Unable to get anyone to answer the support phone line I am stuck. This started happening a while back after a few of the updates - I am not sure which one - so I don't know which one to back out.
I use the Windows Firewall which I have already disabled to see if that will help and it didn't. I looked in the forum and see others with the same issue, however, none of the suggestions worked for me. This is more than frustrating
since I am unable to update any of my apps bought through the store (the small number says that I have 18 updates waiting.
There should be some other way to get updates to applications especially our main operating system.
Any suggestions?
