Windows 10: News Freezes When Selecting a News Story

I reinstalled Windows 10 after upgrading my laptop with an SSD this weekend. No real issues except for News. The program seems to open normally, but consistently freezes whenever I select any story to read.


1. Updated News from Store

2. Uninstalled from Apps and Installed new from Store

3. Reset From Apps

4. Reset ALL apps from Powershell

5. Reset only News from Powershell (Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.BingNews | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose})

Still, when I select a story the app freezes. The window closes normally, but there seems to be no activity if you look at the app in task manager (no CPU or Disk usage etc.) but it does not list it as "Not responding".


A bit stumped here. Has anyone seen this?

MSN News Stories

Why does my screen jump to the bottom or the top of a new story that I am reading? I believe it has something to do with all the stupid and uninteresting ads that surround the page.
