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...

My phone won't let me download anything it says that there is a problem with my account
Original title: I need help
My phone won't let me download any thing he says there is a problem with my account but when I click next to fix it there is nothing
Open accounts settings and tap on your account and let it sync. Otherwise, create a new account and the old account will remain intact. Otherwise reset your phone if you want to use the current account after installation to reset your phone as you do when you buy it and then enter your current account, this will remove all the defects of phone too and you'll be able to get things.

1. what Internet browser do you use on your computer?

Here is the link to download.

b. If nothing works to solve the issue try reset Internet Explorer.
How reset internet Explorer?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
IE reset warning:
Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.If the problem persists I would ask you to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer and check.
Method 3.
Check to see if the problem exists in Mode safe mode with networking. See the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
