To test further, I tried developing a small Windows 8.1 app that simply calls LaunchUriAsync for “” URL, from a Button.Click event handler: The links are clickable but do, virtually, nothing.įor example, in the Store app, clicking any app’s Author Web site or Terms of use links there would result in no action. On my machine (originally upgraded from Windows 7), at least on two user profiles, the hyperlinks from any Windows Store app, including those from the standard apps installed together with Windows, even from the Store app that allows me to get more apps, do NOT open the browser (Modern UI Internet Explorer) as expected. (It is either related or not to the other issue I have regarding file libraries.) I have a strange issue in Windows® 8, and Windows® 8.1 update hasn’t solved it.
