It appears that more and more users are encountering major problems when trying to run Windows 8 apps after upgrading from Windows 7, so Microsoft has decided to roll out some instructions (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robmar/archive/2012/11/20/having-trouble-running-windows-8-apps-after-an-upgrade.aspx?) on how to fix most of these issues.
Microsoft’s support forums are full of questions regarding Windows 8 errors, with some users pointing out that Windows Update fails to deploy specific patches.
Many reports, however, claim that Windows 8 apps do not work after upgrading from Windows 7, so here’s what Microsoft recommends you to do in order to solve the issues.
First, in case you’re running a third-party anti-virus software, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the application. This way, the anti-virus app may reset its configuration and allow Windows 8 apps to launch.
If this simple step doesn’t fix the problems, you may want to download the Apps troubleshooter (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=271185), a small utility that automatically finds and fixes problems on your Windows 8 computer.
