I've already posted one app-related thread this evening:
http://www.eightforums.com/software-apps/57081-store-app-started-using-greek-language.html
And now yet more crazy things happening.
I play Microsoft Solitaire, Mahjong and Sudoku, including the daily challenges. I play these almost every day.
Today I had Solitaire open while I was doing other things (including writing the other post). When I went back to the app it reloaded (as normal) but then an ad started to play. This was an ad for a different Microsoft game and it was not possible to close the ad, I just had to wait for it to finish, after which my game loaded as normal.
I played a couple of games, clicked on the next one, and once again got an ad first.
This happened several times, sometimes an ad before each game, sometimes I could play 2 or 3 games before getting another ad. The ads are random. I've seen ads for Bingo, Solitaire, Mahjong, Sudoku and some other Microsoft games.
I tried playing games from a Solitaire Star Collection - same thing - I got ads.
I tried playing games from the Mahjong Daily Challenges. Again I got ads.
I didn't try Sudoku because frankly I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going mad .
This DID NOT happen yesterday when I played these same games.
My partner is sitting next to me playing the same games and he is not getting these random ads appearing.
What is going on with my Store apps?
