I had problems with the store. I had to do a refresh of the system to get the store and some metro apps to work. It's in the repair section. If I had my laptop in front of me I'd be able to tell you exactly where it is. It was the same problem where it works for one user, but doesn't for another. The other option you have is to create another user, make it administrator and then blow away the profile for the 1st administrator. When you log back in as the administrator your store should work.

Thanks Joe,
I did create a local account yesterday & made it administrator. Then the account that does not work, I switched it to a standard account & had the same issues. The new admin local account all the metro apps worked fine
- I also tried to make the account that does not work a local account & it did not work. I kept on getting error messages
- I also tried to refresh the system with the new administrator account & it said there is a problem & can't be done.

My issue is I already installed all my software on the account that does not work.
Here are the 3 options I have, which one would be better.
1. Try to refresh with my original account
2. Make new account, make it the administrator & re-install all the software & delete the original account
3. Re-install Windows- I had dell send me the operating disk
