The problem is with the folder of windowsapp, The security setting has somehow changed and TrustedInstaller doesn't have sufficient access.
Right click on windowsapp folder (inside program files, if you can't find it go to option and change the setting to view hidden files and folders, just to be sure uncheck the use sharing wizard too.) click on properties, choose security tap, then choose advanced, you can either change the owner to TrustedIsntaller and let it take control of all files and folders and subfolders with inheritance option checked or you can just add TrustedInstaller with the same principle and full control access to users that have access.

If that don't work try In the Administrator Command Prompt type or paste the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

hit Enter.

Now in that same Administrator Command Prompt type or paste: start "" "ms-windows-store:"

Voila. Enjoy installing some new Store apps.

Thanks man but I can't get it fixed. If I go to the folder properties and then the advanced security properties It's already owned by TrustedInstaller and I can't edit anything.. The terminal didn't help to.. Thank you again, I haven't found any solutions like these. I hope you have more or can me point out what I did wrong :) 

EDIT: I tried to set the owner to the administrator of the PC (me) but it still won't let me edit anything or let me view the content of the folder.
