  1. I can't open apps anymore. Seems to have started recently


    I have a new laptop running Windows10. As laptops go, this is the cleanest I've ever owned in terms of avoiding any nefarious websites or activity. So imagine my surprise to have this error happening and nothing seems to remedy it.

    Can anyone please help? This is so frustrating.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. I can't open apps anymore. Seems to have started recently :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

    can't choose recent files from Start menu

    Hi Kim,

    Showing your recently opened items from the Start menu may not be enabled. For you to see your pinned or recently opened files for each app in the apps list, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Start.
    2. Toggle on the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar option.

    Once the option is enabled, try opening some files from any of your Office apps. The recently opened files should now appear under
    Recent when you right-click a particular app in the App list. Please note that once this option is disabled or toggled off, all the recently opened files will be removed from the
    Start menu and from the File Explorer > Quick access.

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    Regards.
