    Hi!

    My Metro Apps were working fine till yesterday, When suddenly some apps today showed to be "Offline", I Checked Firewall and Antivirus and nothing was blocking them, those apps still showed to be offline, My internet connection is working fine as I can browse the web through IE/Chrome..But Apps are resolutely showing "Offline" in the app and not working :confused:..Please can someone help? :(

    Yes, I checked the activation and it's activated, and out of curiosity also tried System Restore, but apps are still offline :( :weep:

    No I didn't disable any service intentionally, Anyway I restored a prior system image and now it's working fine..Thanks :D

    EDIT: As I remember, it might be a conflict with the skype and messaging app, as I once closed the skype app... and started using Messaging app... Bing, Mail, Calendar, Messaging included...all went offline
