Sometimes an AV program can be responsible for blocking and the safest way to eliminate it normally would be to boot up into Safe Mode with or without Networking.
While you can run a sfc /scannow or a chkdsk /f or /r in that mode, you may also be able to run the /restorehealth cmd as well.
You would need to have Safe Mode with Networking for it to access the store.
If you get a red cross on the WiFi icon then wire up as I believe wireless doesn't work in that mode in Win 8/8.1.
Windows Firewall kicks in when in that mode when a 3rd party AV program is in normal use as that is not loaded or are any other 3rd party applications.
