It's the security settings in Win 8.1, they are a nightmare, it would protect you from your own grandmother if it could.
Search for User Account Control (UAC) in settings, (it's hidden away, unlike Win 7) and drop the slider down to minimum to allow stuff to run and\or download.
Win8 treats it's users like dumb cretins... Mother Microsoft at it worst. Win10 or whatever they will eventually call it looks better, they have reverted some of the more severe restrictions.
