Annoying Start Screen Hiatus

OS : W8.1

I have noticed on certain W8.1 machines that tiles that are "live" stop responding for no apparent reason, even though the Internet connection is working correctly.

The tiles affected are those that connect to the User MS Account - Mail; Calendar; People; OneDrive and those that connect to live feeds such as Weather; Stock Market; Exchange Rates; News and so on. Also some tiles that activate system programs such as PC Settings and Control Panel.

Tiles that activate x86 programs are not affected and work as expected.

I have not been able to determine any kind of usage-pattern that precedes this behaviour, expect that it does seem to occur more frequently following a "wake-up" after "sleep" or when changing Accounts - for example from User to Administrator and then back to User.

Anyone else found notice this?

T.
