Metro apps have no internet

I'm running Windows 8 RTM.  I use wireless internet. All of my apps are unable to communicate to the internet.
Desktop apps works fine.  I'm able to open the store for updates and installing apps.  I'm at home and don't use any kind of proxy.

  • Metro Apps All Crash On Startup - I have read the other threads on this

    UPDATE: I AM UPDATING THIS FIRST POST AS PEOPLE KEEP INCORRECTLY MARKING OUR ISSUE AS ANSWERED WHEN THEY HAVE NOT READ THE THREAD PROPERLY. AS SUCH I WILL START BY SAYING IF YOU ARE COMING HERE AND USING AVAST THEN YOUR SOLUTION WILL BE TO TURN OF THE BEHAVIOR SHIELD
    FUNCTION. MORE INFO IS CONTAINED ELSEWHERE ONLINE ON THIS MATTER. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT DOMAIN USE OF METRO ON CLEAN INSTALLS WITH NO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE. SORRY FOR THE CAPITALS BUT 5 TIMES HAVE PEOPLE MARKED AVAST AS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM WHEN IT IS NOT
    EVEN INSTALLED AS DESCRIBED IN THE THREAD. I HAVE POSTED AN EXACT STEP BY STEP TO REPRODUCE MY PROBLEM LOWER DOWN
    I know this question has been asked several times but there seems to be no-one that has a fix for it and it's becoming very frustrating.
    I have installed windows 8 on my work computer as part of a test group to evaluate how the OS runs in our corporate space. The answer currently is not very well. The desktop side runs lovely but the whole metro experience is currently broken. This is the
    same across all the people in our test group, not just my machine.
    Scenario:
    All users running windows 8 within our domain are unable to launch any metro (sorry - new style) application with the exception of PC settings.
    I will describe how I set my machine up and the errors I receive.
    The install is Windows 8 Pro that was a totally clean install. Installation went fine and very fast which was great. When required during setup I created a local Microsoft account - we wanted to see the experience for the majority of users who
    do not have a live id. This all worked fine and everything worked as expected - including the metro apps.
    Now that everything was up and working we joined the machine to the domain, this went fine and I was asked what local security level I would like the account to have - I selected administrator as I need to install all my software / dev tools etc.
    After reboot I log into my domain account and start to install all my applications. I didn't retest metro apps at this point as it never crossed my mind that I would need to.
    All normal desktop apps / programs installed I try to show a colleague the news metro app. The splash screen flashes up and bang straight back to the start screen. I proceeded to try every single other metro app and all have the same result, including
    the store. Strangely they are all displaying notifications and updating the tiles.
    So now I start to search the issue online looking at my event logs for clues to track it down. The following is what i find in the event viewer, I will use the store as an example:
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
    information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
    Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" -->  "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for
    the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
    I have tried the following to resolve this with no success:
    Updated the registry as per a moderator suggestion on technet
    Linked my domain account to my live id account
    Tried changing permissions on C drive to allow all application packages full control
    Install all latest updates
    Tried to run from the local none domain account - same issue now occurs there
    I am not willing to do a repair or re install after spending the best part of a day installing my programs and arranging my start menu too my desired layout. Also each user in our test group has the same issue with totally different software installed. The
    only common item between the 5 systems is .net 3.5 has been installed in order to run a piece of custom software (a simple exe).
    I need to try to find another spare machine to test if simply joining the domain is the root cause. If so this will surely be a big issue when it is actually release later this month as we do nothing special here in terms of our domain config. If it is something
    to do with the domain Microsoft should be much more specific about what can and cant be done on the group policies if you want metro to run. There is no way we could roll this out to our users if as soon as they join our domain their entire start
    screen stops working.
    HELP!!!

    Kevinio04, 
    We have been experiencing the same error in our environment; however today I have found a solution for this.  I have included my theory too, as to why this was happening.  Let me know if this solution works for you:
    If you have recently installed Windows 8 Enterprise on a machine, put the machine on a domain and then used Active Directory credentials to log in, then you may have
    experienced all Metro Apps to crash.
    Theory for Metro apps crashing: Once the machine was put on the domain and an Active Directory user would log into the Windows 8 machine group policy kicked in (depending on what OU that machine was in).  Group policy writes to the Windows registry;
    therefore if you put that same machine in a different OU after previously being in a different OU, there are still traces of the previous group policy in the Windows registry.  In summary, a new OU needs to be created in group policy specifically for
    Windows 8 machines.  The machines that are going to have Windows 8 installed on them, must start with a clean Windows 8 install. You can find details in the outline below:
    GROUP POLICY CHANGES
    Create a new Windows 8 OU with no policies enforced
    Once that OU is created, create the following Policy:
    Location of Policy: Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies/Security Options / Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
    This policy needs to be set to: Not Configured
    Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
    Default: Disabled
    Description of this Policy
    *This security setting determines whether to audit the access of global system objects. If this policy is enabled, it causes system objects, such as mutexes, events, semaphores and DOS devices, to be created with a default system access control list (SACL).
    Only named objects are given a SACL; SACLs are not given to objects without names. If the Audit object access audit policy is also enabled, access to these system objects is audited.*
      INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE
    Administer a clean install of Windows 8 on a machine
    Create a local administrator account
    Log in with the location admin account to put the machine on the domain
    Do NOT log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials yet!
    Put the machine in the new Windows 8 OU
    Restart the machine
    Now, log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials
       TADA!

  • Why does my connection to Apple store constantly fail even though I have good internet connectivity to all non-apple apps?

    Hi.
    All of a sudden my IOS devices are having difficulty accessing all of my Apple-store controlled apps and purchases when using my home network, even though it is a really fast network and my other devices work perfectly. Spotify, YouTube and Netflix and all apps that don't rely on Apple purchases are working perfectly on my iPad and ipod, and I have fast internet speed and perfect connectivity on all my other devices.
    But when I go to Newsstand or iTunes Store for example I get the message 'can't connect to Apple server' or 'you are not connected to wifi' even though all non-Apple apps are connecting perfectly on the same device. I have tried all the usual reboot, reset solutions and nothing seems to resolve this. My software is up to date. My iPod and iPad are working perfectly when I use another network. My home network is working perfectly for everything else.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry for bad English and typos, I wrote it quickly.

    Hi Suzy Q,
    I can send and receive calls.
    I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
    Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid  on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
    When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
    It runs slow.
    I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a  lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
    I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
    When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
    I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
    The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
    I get a black screen on occasion.
    sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
    sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
    I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

  • What to do when you have internet connection but go to use an app, you get the Error message, 'An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection' ?

    Yesterday, I downloaded the twoignite app. When I went to open the app to use, this error message appeared: An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection. I checked my connection and found I had a solid connection. I have tried closing the app and reopening it; deleting the app and redownloading it (more than once); turning off my iphone and turning it back on. None of these things have worked. Thanks.

    Any responses are appriciated

    You posted in the iPad forum, but you profile lists an iPhone 4S. Does your iPhone or iPad have this problem.
    Here's some iPad suggestions. Most also apply to the iPhone. Your iPhone or iPad may show the wifi symbol but that only shows the presence of a wifi signal. Not that you are connected.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

    when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari?  Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)?  You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on.  2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off.  I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

  • Is there a fix for metro apps audio ducking while in a Skype call

    Hello, I have been looking all over the internet for a fix for this but so far it doesn't seems like there is a way to fix this.
    I'm trying to use Metro apps while in a Skype call but if I click out of the app the volume lowers to about 20% of what it was at before.
    "When Windows detects communicates activity" is set to "Do nothing" but it does not control the Metro part of windows 8.1.
    Is there some type of hack that be used to stop Metro apps from lower the volume when in a Skype call, Teamspeak or Mumble. As a gamer this makes the Metro part of Windows completely useless.

    Hi,
    I made a test in my testing enviroment, when using Skype(Store APP) for phone call, system background volume would reduce, while after I'm back to desktop, it would return to former volume.
    For your situation, this problem can be caused by Sound Card driver problem, you can try to reinstall Sound Card driver for test.
    If no use, please also try to reinstall Skype for test.

Desktop IE works w/o any problem. but this happened only in Metro Applications. Smart filter disabled/ proxy disabled.. IE10 as default app. Can anybody help me?

    hi IhorLaputin,
    Can you try to:
    1. Check Fix : Windows 8 UI / Metro Apps shows splash screen but won’t launch 
    2. Uninstall the Metro Apps by right clicking on the icon > Uninstall then re-install them on the Microsoft Store (for the Internet Explorer, check this link)
    If you still get problems, consider doing a Refresh on Windows 8.
    Hope this helps

  • Disabling All Metro Apps

    We are looking at deploying Windows 8.1. However rather than blocking all metro apps via applocker is there any way of completely removing them via group policy...
    To be honest we have no need for any metro apps - we just want to carry on working as we do in Windows 7, just with the updated OS?

    Looks great.. I see some apps can't be removed. Does that mean these apps, photos for instace need to connect to the internet each time a new user logs in to install these apps?
    I also read that this can muck up the sysprep process:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2769827 Does this mean that this should only be run after the machine is put on the domain, and doesn't need to be sysprep'd?
    There's an important (but subtle) distinction here;
    if an app is "provisioned" vs. "installed"..
    If you follow the guidance from MS, and ensure that apps are in a "provisioned" state but not in "installed" state, you will be fine.
    you can use the DISM or PoSH commands to provision and de-provision (i.e. per-machine), and install and uninstall (i.e. per-user) according to your needs, and to satisfy the rules for sysprep.
    Win8.1 / Win8.1u1, changes things a little bit for the better, compared to Win8.0, for modern apps.
    Some limits have been removed in Win8.1 / Win8.1u1 (you can provision/sideload more apps than before).
    But, you can't remove 3 apps: WindowsStore / PC Settings / Modern.IE

  • Images not being displayed in metro apps

    OS: Windows 8.1 enterprise
    Images are not being displayed (a small cross mark shown on the left) when I open metro apps that I download from Store. The store as well doesn't show images. I am able to see images in some built in metro apps like travel and weather.
    What's the fix. I guess the company network is blocking it. What is the work around?
    Thanks.
    NOTE: This is WINDOWS 8.1 METRO UI issue. It doesn't have anything to do with VISIO. The only option that I had to choose when i selected Windows 8.1 is VISIO. This site appears to be broken and not user friendly.

    Hi,
    Which metro app did you download and occur the issue? As you post the question in Visio forum, did you use Visio 2013 preview? As far as I know, the version had been off the store after the official version released.
    If I misunderstand, please give me more information (Such as App name) or images about your question.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Metro fails completely after system restore - can no longer access either Metro or Metro Apps

    Following a system restore, Metro no longer works - The windows button on the keyboard does nothing and clicking the start icon doesn't do anything either. Attempting to start Metro Apps results in failure - they cannot display on the screen and I see the
    outline flash up briefly, then the app crashes. All non-metro programs work fine and aside from Metro, there are no problems.
    How can I re-install Metro or solve the issue? This seems a pretty major failure in the preview - If Metro fails it causes major disruption - kind of like it used to be when explorer.exe failed. No menus, no access to system functions - updates etc. 
    Any suggestions? How can I re-install ( or fix ) Metro without having to scrap the entire OS and rebuild from scratch?
    I thought the store beta not working was a major problem, but it's nothing compared to this. 
    Rolling back the system restore, or choosing another restore point does not correct the problem - 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Are you using the built-in administrator account? Have you tried to create another user account then check whether the issue persists?
    You can follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
    Run wsreset.exe to clear the Windows store cache.
    Re-register the Windows store apps by the following guide (also applies to Windows 10 Technical Preview):
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/notime/archive/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1.aspx
