 <\/p>\n

I noticed that after Patch Tuesday, May 13, that if I opened and app and immediately went to Charms, Rate and Review, that I had a problem. The error message was \u201cSign in with a different Microsoft Account\u201d as shown below. <\/p>\n

\"usediffacct\"<\/p>\n

I tried 4 different computers that I had applied the updates to. And I tried about 10 different apps on each. Same issue. I tried a computer that had not been updated and had no issue at all using the same 10 apps accessing the Rate and Review screen. <\/p>\n

I asked on Twitter and a couple of people responded that they had no issues. <\/p>\n

After spending some time investigating, it seems that with the update to the Store in the May 13 release, there is a timing issue where (on a fast connection perhaps) the online bits can\u2019t communicate quickly enough with the local computer to determine whether or not the app is installed. Here\u2019s what I found.<\/p>\n

If I tapped or clicked Close in the screen above and immediately went back to Charms, Rate and Review to re-open the function, I might see for a very fleeting second that the app was available to install (huh?)<\/p>\n

\"brief\"<\/p>\n

The above would immediately change to<\/p>\n

\"is<\/p>\n

I could then drag the app on the left over the Store screen on the right and then go back to Charms, select Rate and Review and see what I expect to see the first time I selected Rate and Review.<\/p>\n

\"ok<\/p>\n

Again, this is on multiple computers that were updated on Tuesday, May 13. I hope someone from Microsoft is paying attention and will look into this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
