Error 0x80070002 won't update apps win 8
Boggin:
Given the changes you've already made, unless Shane advises differently - it may be time for a repair install http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26095-repair-install-windows-8-a.html

I don't entirely understand the instructions.
In step 4 "•If you have Windows 8 installed, then you must use a Windows 8 DVD/USB.".
I don't have a Win 8 DVD/USB because Win 8 came pre-installed on my PC laptop.

•.Looking into it a bit further, I think I create it here "•If you have 64-bit Windows 8 installed, then you can only use a 64-bit Windows 8 DVD/USB."
Shane:
Sorry for the late reply guys. Lots of posts to read through. My mother in law just past away this morning and I have been keeping my wife and daughters calm.
So I didnt have the time to read through all the posts, but a repair install is a good idea. But you will need a Windows 8.1 install disk to do it, which you can grab off the net. Do you have the cd or do you need a download link to it?

Boggin:
@ Shane - Very sorry to hear of your sad recent loss.
My condolences to you and your family.
@ GMO123 - Using the blue hyperlinks in the tutorial will take you from how to create a bootable ISO to the actual hyperlinks to download the relevant Win 8.0 ISO with a workaround to use a generic key if needed.
An alternative to the repair install is the Refresh or Reset but you could still need an install disk if it needs to replace missing files, but with an OEM machine that came with Win 8/8.1 - they will have a Recovery partition to factory reset the machine to an out of the box condition (for which you don't need an install disk), but you will need to back up your personal stuff as you would also need to do for the Refresh (as a safeguard) or the Reset and as this article explains, you will need to reinstall your desktop programs.

The hyperlinks in the article will take you to the How tos for the required operations if you need them.
