I’ve seen other folks complaining about this issue as well, but thank God it doesn’t happen for me.

So I updated to Windows 8.1 Pro from Windows 8 Pro several weeks ago with no problems.  Now all of a sudden, the Microsoft News Metro App crashes on start.  No error messages, just opens to the splash screen and returns me to the desktop.  The app appears to still be running in the sidebar, but when I click on that, it briefly brings me to the news splash screen and then back to the desktop again.  I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the News app, a system refresh AND a full reinstall of the computer from scratch.  The app started working again after the system reinstall, only to have it start crashing after about an hour.
