    Hi,

    Thanks for asking! As I understand, you are facing issue accessing Windows Store. Correct me if I am wrong.

    1.       Have you set the correct Region settings?

    2.       Were there any recent changes to the system prior to the issue?

    3.       Have you run a proxy on your computer?

    4.       Is your Windows Firewall turned ON?

    If you have run a proxy, I would suggest you to disable it and check if it helps.

    Also, turn on your Windows Firewall ON and then check if it helps.

    Try changing the regional settings and check if it helps.

    Follow these steps and check if it helps.

    a)      Right click on Date/Time Settings on the Taskbar.

    b)      Click on Adjust Date/Time.

    c)       Click on Change Time Zone.

    d)      Click Apply, click OK.

    e)      Check if it helps.

    Reply back with the results, I would be glad to assist you further.

    From the CP to RP

    Microsoft isn't allowing us to use Windows 8 Store because of an American sanction 

    I'm sorry for this but some people were able to open it with just changing location

    for me, I've tried VPN, Change my location (both on outlook (hotmail) and local PC), change my date & Time, useing proxy and even changing my Windows Phone location (because it syncs using the same mail)
