Not seen this one before. Could you try running Viewer on the PC with
the launcher and see if it sees the web.service messages. If the icons
are apearing in TV then they must be being sent and it's the same
messages that the launcher sees. It may be worth restarting the hubs on
these PCs, I have seen occasions when apps start and stop that certain
port go deaf to xAP, may this is what is happening here. On the weather
query which you said showed fine, just curious but how did show?
(nothing even vaguely intranet in weather)

Is this ie or ff ? I have seen it happen occasionally especially in News
while it's collecting or processing a feed but still not sure why.

Yep it can now be:
xAP system + webserver + intranet linkups
xAP system + webserver
webserver + intranet linkups
webserver
xAP system

Only caveat is that in webserver + intranet linkups mode you need to
feed the ocx incoming web.server messages for it to track things.
