So I think I blocked facebook from running in the background before but now I want to unblock it.

I check the box that says turn background tasks back on for this app the next time I open it, then I go open the app, go back into settings and its still blocked.

Anyone have the same issue and/or no how to unblock it?

I think some else had this issue, and it turn out that it relates to the Facebook lockscreen. Had you used that previously?

I had this issue with Facebook app, though i never blocked it.
I re-installed facebook and now it's working fine, but i don't know if there is a fix without re-installing.

Pretty sure I tried it but not currently using it. Should I reinstall the app?

The Facebook background task is ONLY related to the lockscreen images if you have selected Facebook for your lockscreen image. There is no other background task that Facebook uses. It IS NOT used for notifications, chat, etc.

It will not unblock if you do not have the lockscreen image selection as Facebook, as there is no other task it needs to run.

Well that sucks cuz im not getting any notifications from facebook and I thought that was the reason.

I had the same issue on AppointTile. Couldn't figure out how to get notifications working again, and the tile stopped updating. Had to uninstall and reinstall the app.

I had the notifications stop showing up for ne, and I realized it happened when I added Facebook to the lock screen in settings. I took it off, and my notifications came back. It's kinda annoying, and I can deal with it, but it needs addressed.

I have blocked Skype and some other apps from the Background tasks and reliezed it could never be unblocked again.

There is no option to block Skype in the background...
