    Background:

    I just installed a new SSHD D: to my computer and need to move apps from my old SSD C:.


    Problem:

    Going to the "apps and features" page shows all the apps and even what I'm sure should be able to be transferred like Netflix have the "Move" option greyed out. How do I use this feature or get the files transfered?

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Moving Apps :)

    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)
