    In the image I attached, I have ARK: Survival Evolved and Google Chrome open. As you can see, there is a space under the chrome window that shows a taskbar-sized space of Ark. I know a while ago I did something to stop the taskbar from showing when I have an app open in fullscreen because for whatever reason, randomly, it started showing while I had a youtube video in fullscreen, so I had to hide the taskbar when in fullscreen so I could reach all the buttons. I cannot for the love of me find a similar enough issue. I have already restarted explorer.exe.I'm using Windows 11, and this is the fi

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. When I have a fullscreen app, like a game, open and then use the windows key to open... :)

    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)

    Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?


    Right click the application shortcut, select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and choose how you want to open the application:

    • Normal window = Opens the application window in same size it was when last time closed, full screen only if the application was last closed when full screen
    • Minimized = Opens the application but minimizes it to taskbar without showing the application window on desktop
    • Maximized = Opens the application window always maximized, regardless if it was windowed or full screen when last time closed

    Can I customize the list of suggest apps in the "Open with" menu?

    You can't use it to add additional programs, only to set default programs.

    Interestingly for me it shows nothing for text files:

    Then if I want to add a portable app like Jarte Plus to open with context menu windows doesn't like it.

    It's not present and is near impossible to add even via "look for an app on this PC"

    OpenWithAdd to the rescue:
