I have resolved this by doing the following:

1) go to settings--> Update& security --> Recovery --> go back to the previous version of Windows 10 --> Get started. By doing that you go back to the previous version (1703)

 

2) As soon as I sign -in to the previous version, I created/added a new local account to the system.

 

3) I signed in with this new account, and I ran the upgrade to version 1709 again from inside this newly created account

 

4) When the upgrade was completed, I signed in with this newly created account. I remained signed in for 30 minutes, just to make sure that all the post upgrade tasks (if any) have been completed.

 

5) I signed out, and then signed in with my usual Microsoft account. All the store apps and tiles where there and working perfectly.

 

I hope this works for you too. Good luck ;))
