Windows App Store stays in "pending" status

If you have this problem like myself, make sure you try a couple of things:

1.- Cancel the installation, restart the PC, try again.
2.- Try step 1 a couple of times
3.- As a last resource, open an elevated command prompt
4.- type the following commands
net stop wuauserv
rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution softwaredistribution.old
net start wuauserv

5.- Try to install your Windows 8 Metro App, it should work

Note: You should try step 4 as a last resort due to the fact that it will delete all your history on software installations and updates.
