I called Dell tech support. They tried and also failed to update to Win 8.1. They did a bunch of updates, activated Dell backup and ran a command line utility wsreset.exe
that cleared the store cache, I'm guessing that is what fixed the problem.
Probably a left over setting from the preinstallation of apps.
