    Most if my apps stopped working, like Mail, Weather, News, Sports and Internet Explorer
    all of the rest of the apps work fine? this has me confused. They tell me I'm not connected to the internet, but on my desktop I am on the net.
    Ran Malware and Virus scan found nothing.

    Win 8.1 Pro (x64)
    CPU, AMD A8-5500 with Radeon HD Graphics 3.20 GHz
    RAM, 6GB

    HI

    Just going to check the basics first in is your Windows 8.1 fully up to date, run Windows Update to check again, just in case.

    Then enter the Store and press WinKey + I and check for App Updates (even if its set to Auto I've seen it miss a few) as a lot of in-built apps were updates to take into consideration the change from Bing apps as in Weather News Sport to MSN names variants.

    and reboot after checking.

    Also run the App Troubleshooter

    Not using a proxy server are you at all?

    There are no updates to install, and the Apps troubleshooter tells me to refresh the system.
    Get back to you after the refresh. No proxy server
