Metro apps don't open without reboot - sporadic

Sometimes, often enough to be annoying, I find that my Metro apps will not load, e.g., I click on them, and they start to open, but then I get kicked back to my desktop. The icon stays in the tray, but I can't get into the app. This problem goes away with a reboot, but recurs sporadically. Help, please!

Hmm.. The Windows Store App Troubleshooter found and fixed a "possibly corrupt" file. However, the automatic Windows Store load hung, and I had to close it. I'm hopeful, but, since this is an intermittent problem, I'll wait to mark it as solved. We'll see. Thanks for your input!

I tried all of the other options that apply; for example, I know my OS is activated, and I'm already using my Microsoft account. I wish there were some way of marking the case "probably solved!" :shock:

Yeah, we can wait a while to see if it continues, and go from there. :)
