Facebook App Will not Stay Open


On wife's laptop, Win 10 Home, Facebook App worked for her until today. Now the app opens for 5sec then closes. She is still on 10240build. Uninstall/reinstall no fix. Went to store tried updates there no updates. Rebooted computer after reinstall no fix. New laptop less than a month old so no build upgrade available.

Any idea (she is not going to do a new account) to fix the app?

I have the same problem, as of today (11/25) after a windows upgrade. tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no luck

Wife now has 10586.14 build. She has not tried the Facebook App again yet. I'll get her to try it today when she has a chance.

Checked with wife still same issue

The app takes you to the store.
How I got to facebook was got it up showing then on the 3 ... left clicked and pinned it to start
now when I want it I just click start then face book icon

Or add it to the Favourites Bar or if you use MSN page you will find it there

She was used to the app from her old iPad so she went that route on her new Laptop.

The windows app worked for her until all the update/upgrades now after downloading the app, pinning it to start it opens for a few seconds then closes. Not entirely sure what your procedure is, maybe you could expand on it a bit.

In the meantime she is using a browser for facebook.

I posted because it seems the app is buggy and maybe there is a fix.

In Bing or Google search type facebook.com.
Once you get the page you want.
You can log in that way.,
Well there click on more action where the 3 ... dots are
Once in you will see Pin To Start.
Click that and follow where it will ask you to save
Once done click start down in left hand corner
where your tiles will open up
scroll down to find the facebook tile.
you can resize it.
That is how you do it,
Next time you want it go to start click on the tile and facebook will open up for you

Hope that help if you need any other help please do ask

Oh I see you used Edge for the above - I was trying to figure out the 3 dots thing since I don't use edge. I thought initially you were talking about the app. Now I understand!!!

She has it figured out in Chrome but would still like to use the app. Thanks for the procedure.

Let me know if you get stuck
yes I only use Edge
I don't have IE11 or Chrome
if you use IE11 and make msn your home page face book will appear in favourites

Deleted app. Ran CCleaner Registry option, Re-installed app. Now works.

So either the CCleaner fixed something OR Facebook App is updated - don't know which but app works now.
