May I know if this issue happen to all apps?
Did you try to update your Windows?

I suspected this issue related to regional setting since you are using N version of Windows 8.1

Check your country or region setting

Step 1: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.
 (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Settings.) 
Step 2: Tap or click Change PC settings.
Step 3: Tap or click Time and language, then tap Region and language.
Step 4: Under Country or region, look to see that your location is set correctly, and change it if it's not.

The app is no longer available in the Store
Maybe this app not available in your country
Family Safety settings or app locker might be hiding or lock apps

Contact apps developer if this only happen to spesific app

this doesn't happens to every apps but happens to most of the apps that I download from store. as it is windows 8.1 pro n it doesn't have apps like video, music etc. I try to download them but this problem arises to me. I have updated my windows to the latest version

The N means Windows doesnt have Windows Media Player so youll need to buy it separately if you want it.

can you tell me those apps? that you tried to installed

may I know from which region are you?

may I know if your PC connected to domain (office environment)?

try to install VLC (media player) its also help you to install the latest codecs
