Key notes
Pandora is a music app that’s now available on the MS Store. However, some users have said on support forums that the app doesn’t work for them.
When they try to open Pandora, the app doesn’t start up at all or only briefly opens for a few seconds before closing. Toquote one user:
When I open the Pandora App, it will appear to open as normal but goes away after 3-5 seconds. It’s as if the app is closing every time it’s opened (no error messages).
In today’s guide we will explore some of the best fixes for this annoying issue, so make sure to read through it.
How can I fix the Pandora app?
1. Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter
2. Turn off your antivirus software
If you’ve installed a third-partyantivirus utility, you’ll need to disable that by right-clicking its system tray icon. Then select the shield disable or deactivate setting for your antivirus utility on its context menu. Disable the antivirus software for about an hour if you can, and then try opening Pandora.
3. Refresh Windows Update
4. Reset the Pandora app
5. Reset the MS Store cache
The above resolutions aren’t necessarily guaranteed to fix Pandora, but there’s a pretty good chance they’ll fix the app.
However, remember that there’s also a music player on thePandora websiteyou can utilize as an alternative.
