PaintPlay and the Piano app still give me trouble once in awhile even when there is good network coverage.

I returned home where better network coverage was available these apps less frequently fail to start. When I was at Build where network connectivity was spotty many of the apps would behave like #1.

Network connectivity - many of the apps rely on either network connectivity in general or perhaps access to Windows Live in order to startup properly.Conditions that cause the app to fail at startup but fails to provide an error - just a blank screen in the color of the tile I clicked on.I believe that my issues were related to one of two things: In my case I was logged in as a priveldged user (member of the local Administrators group). No real difference from fast user switching that has been around for years. Just touching the username in the upper right give you a list of users (logged in or not) and we just touch the otherĪccount name and after logging in, we are in the other account.

We don't know, but we now logon with our Adminstration account AND the LiveID account. Maybe their worried if someone hacks into your LiveID, they somehow can gain Adminstrative It's our guess that Microsoft doesn't want (at least in the Developer Preview version) to have a LiveID linked to an Adminstration account on your local PC. Voila! We we logged back into the LiveID accountĪll the Metro apps started working again.

But when we went to run Metro apps, none worked!!! After some trial and error, we decided to remove the Adminstrative priviledges from the LiveID account. After that we logged in as the LiveID account and tested changing system priviledges. So we went back to the original local account and went into User Accounts and made the LiveID account an Administrator. When we tried to do some systems changes (file sharing, etc), we realized that the new LiveID account needed to be an Adminstrator on the system. Bam, everything worked under the LiveID account. To test, we created a login using a LiveID. We created a local account and at first it worked fine, but eventually (after installing SQL, VS2010, Photoshop, etc), it stopped running Metro apps. Good luck in finding the reboot option.īesides the resolution requirements, we have found that it seems that an Administrator with a LiveID login can't run Metro Apps. The inerns who wrote most of them apparently didn't include either testing for requirements (internet and live account) or adding WinRT has issues with dependencies and initializing things) Mostĭefinitly the apps do not like having no internet connection and having no live account linked with the login.Įdit: One note - once some of these apps hang your only recourse is to logout/login or reboot before they will work again. Sometimes I think it's the order in which I start the apps. I have one of the developer preview tablets and this happens quite often to me too. Who runs under 1024x768 these days anyway? Please unmark this as the "answer". This is one of many issues and hardly the most common answer. If your device does not support resolutions of 1024x768 or higher, you can connect the device to an external monitor that is capable of those resolutions. You can adjust your screen resolution by going to theĬontrol Panel, selecting More Settings, and then selectingĭisplay when the Desktop Control Panel comes up. This is the minimum screen resolution required to launch applications in the Metro UI. If nothing happens when you click on a Metro UI application tile, first check that your screen resolution is 1024x768 or higher.
