This is happening to me also, with the exception mine will crash eventually.

@andysterland and @jmarbutt Could you tell me what version of the Windows Web Experience Pack you have installed (if any?). You can run Get-AppxPackage *webexp* from a powershell prompt to get it.

@andysterland and @jmarbutt Thanks for the info! You both have version 521, which made me realize we have a bug when we check which version is installed. There should be a popup asking you to update that app, but we're not displaying it in this case. I expect that there will be an update available in the store, and that updating will fix the issue: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-web-experience-pack/9MSSGKG348SP

(If you update while Dev Home is open, there's a small bug with widget formatting, but a fix is in PR right now.)
