Odd solution gets MSN Weather App working in Windows 8.1
Hope this odd fix works for someone else!
The standard Weather App in Windows 8.1 also stopped working for me. It stopped when I immediately changed my mind after launching the Weather App and then clicked on the Desktop icon. The next time I returned to the Weather App it no longer loaded.
After a week or so, I decided to sort of reverse the process, and the Weather App has magically returned:
1) Clicked on the Weather App to open it and immediately closed it.
2) Did this step again.
3) Opened the App normally, and this time it worked including all the settings and places previously set up.
Good luck / Mark

That’s all well and good, but how do you get the current weather down into your Windows 8.1 system tray, (i don’t run in tiled Start Screen mode) or is it not possible? thx

I haven’t been able to open the Weather app in Windows 10… still working out some bugs. Until I do, does anyone know a way to set the location without opening the app? A settings file? A registry key? Anything? Thanks.

On an 8.1 convertible tablet the daily forecast gives 4 days, scrolls past the next 2, then gives days 7, 8, 9 & 10. I don’t recall check-marking the box for “Teach Me Patience.”
