Windows 10: Facebook and Facebook Messenger will not load

Both the above named apps after finally getting the AU, will not actually load. they both self close before getting off the icon screen. I only discovered this when I went to check a notification from action center instead of loading up the browser. Now I was still getting notifications while they would not load but after uninstalling/rebooting, clearing app caches multiple time they have stopped even doing that which I expected. The notifications was the main reason I even had the programs, so I could get those notifications when I did not have the site open.

I have tried every solution google could also give me including clearing out manually some registry entries between an uninstall and reinstall and clearing out all Facebook windows credentials but nothing has made a difference.

In event viewer each generated 2 errors and between then an information entry.
the ones for the main Facebook app

Activation of app Facebook.Facebook_8xx8rvfyw5nnt!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

same entries for messenger except showing its app package name, all other store apps work fine.

:)

 

messenger has stopped working

If it is a Lumia 650, try loading the Facebook app on the device's drive and NOT the SD card. I have used the Facebook app and Facebook Messenger app for months by doing this. No crashes or down time. Just load the apps on the phone's drive and hopefully
it will work for you too. Thanks!

 

Outdated and Worst Facebook & Messenger Apps.

The Facebook and Facebook Messenger applications are outdated. They open too much slowly. Crashes frequently eve time you open it or use it. Facebook and Facebook Messenger ar too old and doesn't have all the new features like the Android Facebook and Facebook
Messenger App.

Please do Upgrade Facebook and Facebook Messenger App and solve all these problems.

 

Facebook and Messenger apps stop working since last two updates. (+10 days ago I think)
Facebook release and update today, the problem still exists.
All my friends and clients have the same problem, and all of them have anniversary edition (Windows 10 pro x64)

The problem is from facebook side, I think there is nothing we can do...just wait for a version that works.

 

I went back last night and looked at the store pages for both and noticed the other comments about them not working since AU for others since I posted this here. Makes me feel a bit better that its not just my machine having issues at least. Though in the store now I do not see any updates for either app, unless they came out last night since I tried the uninstall / reinstall circle again just to see. Currently on version 65.612.53450.0 of the Facebook app and 87.595.49974.0 of messenger. Only app updated today was Microsoft's Feedback Hub for me.
