Windows 8 Store Won't Open

So, I've had this problem since I upgraded to windows 8 from 7 about a week ago now. When I try to open the store, it reacts as if I clicked it, but does not do anything to open. I tried getting help with this from the Microsoft answer site, but they seemed to be very slow in getting back to me, so I will summarize what I did there (Link Here). They had me try 5 things

1. Check Time and Date are set correctly

Result: These were set correct

2. Run wsreset.exe to clear the store cache

Result: Gave this error When I did wsreset.exe it gave this error message:

"ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches

This app failed to launch because of an issue with its license. Please try again in a moment."

3. Disable Proxy Server in IE

Result: No Proxy server was ever set.

4. Perform a clean boot and check

Result: Even under clean boot, the store app would not open.

5. Run the app troubleshooter

Result: The app troubleshooter opened the device troubleshooter which said it was "detected" that "Hardware changes might not have been detected." The app troubleshooter then said it made changes and to restart (specifically the problems found were "check for missing or corrupt files" and "display adapter drivers might be out of date" both "detected" with a yellow triangle), but the store app still did not open after restarting.


So, that's basically everything I have tried so far to fix this issue to no avail. Hopefully someone here can help me figure this out. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me!
