  1. Loss of Contact details in People App. Where arethey stored?


    The People App apparently deleted all my contacts (or failed to connect to the data file).I then re-entered all the data. Shortly afterwards most of the contacts disappeared from the App and I re-entered them again. No repetition of the problem so far. I later downloaded the trial Outlook app and found that the Contacts information was present but from the earlier version which had been deleted(?) on the first occasion. I could tell it was the earlier version because it contained entries which I had not re-entered. What is going on? I am trying to find out where the contact details are stored in case that might indicate where the problem is.

    :)

    Loss of Store, Calculator, People App, Photo App in Windows 10


    OK, so I've tried both suggestions above from Brink

    The first one: Apps - Reinstall and Re-register in Windows 8 and 10 - zoomed through as per the pictures shown in the link. Got to the end, showed this screen

    Went back, tried to open the apps in question - no change.

    Second option - Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - I went to the site as directed, downloaded the link to the app, hit YES at the UAC and it didn't do any updating at all. It came up immediately that my copy of Windows was up to date and directed me to exit. No change, nothing fixed.

    However, I have taken a second screenshot as below. You'll see on the left in the apps list there's a whole heap of apps which don't work (under my profile, no-one elses) listed under "Other" with codes and what seem to be error messages beside them (they look like package IDs to me, but anyway) . You'll also notice in looking at the tile for the store that there is a code on it which also appears when I endeavour to launch the app.

    App then crashes. Similar story with all the other apps.

    I'm at a loss to be honest. I thought the second option would work, but it actually downloads nothing at all (maybe the link has changed, I don't know).

    Do these screenshots offer any insights?

    Thanks so much.

    Issue with People app


    I'm running a clean install of Win 10, less than a week old, and I'm seeing some odd behaviour with the People app.

    When I'm in Mail, I can see a contact's details by clicking on the "Open Contact" option from within the message. This opens the People app. So far so good.

    However, this seems to be the only way I can access People. There's no obvious way to access it otherwise from mail, it's not listed in "All apps": also, when the People app is open, it has no icon in the taskbar - just an empty space where the icon should be (I can grab this anti-icon and move it around the taskbar).

    Any suggestions welcome...

    Linked Outlook Contacts Not Syncing with Windows 10 People App

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As you are unable to sync contacts in the People App, I suggest you to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter by following the steps provided below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the search box and press Enter.
    • Click on ‘View All’ on the top left pane.
    • Click on “Windows Store Apps” from the list and follow the on-screen prompts for troubleshooting.

    If the issue still persists, then remove and add the Yahoo account in the People App.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
