Windows store won't let me download Windows 8.1 - says I have to be an administrator, but I'm already!

I'm trying to download Windows 8.1 from the store Windows, but whenever I click on green install button, it keeps telling me that I can't download the 8.1 update because I am not the administrator. I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR. I am registered on the administrator account. The firewall is down. What is the problem?

Microsoft if your listening, your operating system is terrible. It seems that with every BONE is even worse. Stopped to try to complicate things by making them more complex and keep them simple. I'm administrator, let me download stuff. I should have spent the extra $1000 and got a Mac.

Hello

Uninstalling Windows Update KB2871389 and then put it back solves the problem for most people who have tried.

You can uninstall it by going to programs and features and by clicking on "View installed updates" at the top to the left. You will need to scroll the list to find it. Then right-click on it to get the option uninstall.

You might also might want to consider turning off or uninstall security 3rd party programs...
