Windows 8.1 Metro Apps crashing


Recommended Posts

I've been on 8.1 for about a month now. Everything is smooth. All except metro apps that is . I used the Bing apps consistently in 8 and the music app and skype occasionally. but now everything is crashing on me

 

Bing (All apps)- Slow to start, ~20 seconds , Even if they start they freeze when resumed from suspend mode, Jittery scrolling

Skype- Takes forever to start ~30 seconds, Crashes when resumed from suspend

Music - Doesn't respond to clicks or scrolling, then crashes

 

But Im not saying all metro apps are trash Mail, People, Calender are excellent !!

 

Anybody here having similar issues ? Any solutions?

 

EDIT: If it helps in anyway the Windows Apps troubleshooter says my display drivers are out of date . But I updated them only yesterday. Intel HD 2500 driver version 10.18

I've noticed apps force closing on my Surface RT which I've recently updated to 8.1.  Quite often, Metro apps will just close and dump me back to the start screen.

 

Strangely though, they do stay in the task switcher, so if I swipe in from the left it re-loads the app that just crashed.

 

No doubt MS are getting the crash reports, so I'm sure this'll be fixed soon.
