Hi Stephen,

When I use the 1st command ("SC..."), I got the following message :
[SC] StartService FAILED 1056 :

An instance of the service is already running.

When I continue with the 2nd command ("w32tm...."), I got the following :
Sending resync command to local computer
{wait for about a minute}
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

Did we manage to narrow to the problem ?

Thanks in advance.
 
Maybe with some other commands...
C:\> w32tm /resync /rediscover
Sending resync command to local computer
The command completed successfully.

After it, check if it works.
If not, try to get more informations from it:
Code:
w32tm /tz
w32tm /query /status
w32tm /query /peers
w32tm /query /configuration

Hope the information above is useful.

The following command could allow your device to synchronize (hopefully) with your active directory/domain:
Code:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:DOMHIER

Then re-try to synchronize with
Code:
w32tm /resync /rediscover

If it doesn't work, try ALL instead of domhier, then resync with the above command.

I tried both DOMHIER and ALL. But in both the situation, when I run the command w32tm /resync /rediscover, it gives :
Sending resync command to local computer
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.
 
Try either
Code:
NET TIME /DOMAIN:domainname /SET

Or

Code:
NET TIME /RTSDOMAIN:domainname /SET


/DOMAIN[:domainname] Specifies to synchronize the time from the Primary Domain Controller of domainname.
/RTSDOMAIN[:domainname] Specifies to synchronize with a Reliable Time Server from domainname.
 
Try either
Code:
NET TIME /DOMAIN:domainname /SET

Or

Code:
NET TIME /RTSDOMAIN:domainname /SET


/DOMAIN[:domainname] Specifies to synchronize the time from the Primary Domain Controller of domainname.
/RTSDOMAIN[:domainname] Specifies to synchronize with a Reliable Time Server from domainname.

Manage to sync with local domain time already. What should I do next ?
 
Sorry, I didn't understand: is something changed and now you can synchronize or did you do it already?

Oh... I follow your "Net Time" command and can get to sync the time with my domain. Now what step should I do ? My Store is still not functioning.
 
Does it still show the same error?
Try to reset wstore (run Windows or search charm) :
1) open an elevated command prompt, type wsreset (press enter)
Or from the search charm, type wsreset, right-click wsreset when it appears, run as administrator
2) Click the "Try again" link when the store appears

If this doesn't work I'm afraid I'm out of ideas... :noidea:

Hi Xilo,

Results still the same. WinStore is still not working... :banghead:.

Anyway, you are of very great help... :thumbsup2: Thanks a lot...
 
:dsmile:

Couldn't it be that feature have been disabled by the domain administrator?
Or does it work for other users in the domain?

:bored2:

I don't know as I am the only one using Win8Pro at the moment. :r1::huh:
However, when I first bought this unit, it works OK until I encounter some problem which I use the factory reset which is a HUGE MISTAKE... :banghead:
Should have just find alternatives instead of using the copy of Win8Pro stored in the device. Seems that this copy is an incomplete copy. Found this out the hardway.... :thud:
Anyway, thanks a lot again... :thumbsup2:
 
Where did you get the Windows 8.1 OS upgrade from?

After I have use the factory reset, the WinStore still works and points me to the 8.1 upgrade. Then the rest are history. :wave:

Hello, how did you finally resolve this issue???
I have a Microsoft Surface 2 and I'm experiencing this same erroe message.
Please help as I am on my wits end

Hi,

Up to now I am still stuck with the error. Luckily I am using the Surface for work related only and do not use it to download apps from the WinStore. Anyway, I hope to be getting a new device soon and then I can start doing my "Troubleshooting" on the Surface. If I can manage to find a solution then, will keep you posted. :thumbsup2:

Btw, do you face "Certificate" problem when using browser (i.e. IE or Chrome) ?

Regards.

Hi All,

After so long of not using the WinStore, yesterday I try it again and it works :eek::eek:. The error is gone without me doing anything at all :huh::huh:. I checked my list of "Installed Updates" and the last update for windows was done on the 30 Sept 2013. I do not know what has happened but good news is now my WinStore is back into action :grin1::thumbsup2:. So, for those that is still facing the same problem, try it out and see whether it works now. Good luck.

Regards.
