Windows Central App breaks my Windows 10 install

[Philip Manwaring]

Any time I install the Windows Central UWP app, my PC breaks. Start menu stops working, Cortana won't open, and notification center won't work.

Once I uninstall the app everything returns to normal.

Obviously a Windows 10 issue, but something in the app is triggering it. Anybody got any ideas?

BTW - other UWP apps generally run fine, Store works OK, etc. The machine is stable except when this app is installed. Drawboard has caused some similar issues in the past.

It does appear that Win10 UWP sandbox is pretty badly broken for any app to be able to break the OS menus ..

I'm sorry to hear you've had so many issues with your PC and the Windows Central app.

I've moved your thread to the Site Feedback & Help forum, so that staff will see it, since this problem is clearly related to this site's app, not anything else on your PC.
