Windows 10: Has the Microsoft Store shut down on Windows 8.1?

On my old computer, I had Windows 8.1. After 5 years I opened it and had a big surprise, it worked, except from the Microsoft Store. I tried reinstalling it 3 time, the result was the same. Followed all the YouTube videos but nothing worked. Is the Microsoft Store shut down on Windows 8.1? Thank you!

Windows 8 Gets "Overwhelmingly Negative" Response from Vendors, Expectations Plummet

Is Windows 8 also moving more to a closed environment, in that applications will need to be "approved" by microsoft before they can run on windows 8, or is that just to be listed on the app store?

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!
