This is the most common problem of windows 8 users using pirated versions of windows 8.This might have happened because of a server problem or the network connection timed out.
Some of my suggestions to may connection loss are as follows:
- Checked the Date and Time settings and also updated the Internet time.
- Checked that you are not using any proxy server by going in Internet Options.
- You have switched your account from local account to a Microsoft account.
- You have refreshed you PC(your big mistake) by going in PC settings.
- You have cleared the store cache by running few commands.
And after trying above methods and few more, you are still not able to access the store or any other App.Now I am going to tell you a method that worked straightway for me.
Just follow the following simple steps :
- First you need to install a small software called Fiddler.Fiddler is a small tool for Inspecting and Debugging Web traffic.Go to the following link and download the version 4.4.5.6(or higher if available).
- It is of very small size(under 1MB) and after downloading install it.Run it by going into program list.
- Once the Fiddler window appear,go to Tools and then select Win8 Loopback Exemptions.If you get prompt for warning ,click Yes.
- Select Exempt All so that each checkbox in front of app is checked and select Save Changes.Now minimize the Feddler(Do not close it) and try to open the app store or any other app.
- Now App Store and all other window 8 Apps can easily connect to the Internet.You may need to run the Feddler,so just minimize it and do not close it.
You may need to run the Fiddler all the time when you need App store to connect to the Internet.Still,this is far better than Refreshing the PC or Installing a new copy of windows 8.
Whether this method works for you or not,please let me know by posting your comment.
