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 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, a small utility that automatically finds and fixes problems on your Windows 8 computer.
