First off, I'm aware of several existing posts that probably deal with same issue, but I think I'm having a unique problem and have tried a lot of things, but to no avail.
(1) Here is my system information
OS: Windows 8.1 Enterprise X86CPU: Corel i3 X64 (2) Problem in detail (a). Windows apps won't open or load, I can however open WallStreetJournal app, but it wouldn't load the content and it kind of get stuck in there when launched. (b). As strange as it may sound, I can still download and install apps from App Store, but it just won't open
(3) Additional info (a). This problem arises just recently (b). I have turned off Windows automatic update, but I regularly check and install Windows defender updates (c). The major desktop apps I'm using are Adobe creative suite cs6. The Illustrator CS6 crashes very often, I don't know why and I don't know if it had anything to do with the app problem I'm having
(4) Things I have tried (but to no avail) (a). delete all files located on windows/software distribution (b). run sfc /scannow (it reports I have cbs.log file corrupted) (c). run Windows store troubleshooter
Thanks
