We can't be the only two people on the internet with this problem, but it seems to be rare (or no one else is using their computers out of wifi range).This article outlines the release cycle for administrators to update the Microsoft Store apps installed by default on Windows 8.1-based computers.Īpplies to: Windows 10 - all editions Original KB number: 2971128 More information It's only that initial 1 second of start up that it needs to "check" for something.

Apparently in Windows 8.1 there was a way to sync app licenses but I haven't figured out how to force anything in Windows 10 yet. I *think* those app licenses are really supposed to be cached locally but something gets out of sync and they arent written to the local drive.
Here's what I've come up with so far: A lot of these apps, when first launched, go out to the internet to check some sort of app licensing.
I can repeat this with most of the app store apps (a few indie apps seem to work fine either way). I actually had the apps working without internet connection for about 5 days after buying the computer. I have the exact same problem on an HP Spectre x360! However, for even calculator to not open without internet seems wrong. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I have tried to recreate it on my desktop (also running Windows 10) by unplugging my ethernet cable and then opening various apps, and it functions as expected - they will open and perform everything normally, unless specifically needing the internet.ĭon't get me wrong, I understand that certain apps require Internet Access (Hulu or Netflix come to mind). I also spent the better part of yesterday afternoon chatting with Contact Support, who at various points told me that the tablet was designed to work that way (um, no), that no Windows apps will open without internet connection (false), or simply ended the chat when it seemed like they were in over their heads. This even includes built-in apps such as calculator (?).ġ. Desktop (or legacy) apps open fine in airplane mode, but anything downloaded from the Windows Store will not. I have a number of modern apps that refuse to open unless I am actively connected to the internet. I have a Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2-1051F running Windows 10.
