Windows 10: after the May update, whenever I reboot and then try to launch most apps, they open as...

I installed the big May update recently. Ever since, whenever I reboot and then try to launch certain apps (web browsers, Adobe apps, Spotify--pretty much any sizeable app), it appears as if those apps aren't launching, and Windows is just sitting there doing nothing. But if I open Task Manager and look at the Processes tab (sorted by Name), the apps I've tried to launch show up under the "Background processes" section, instead of the expected "Apps (x)" section. If I wait about a minute or more, the apps I've tried to launch suddenly come screaming to life all at once. If I'd clicked on an app launcher multiple times while waiting, then multiple instances of that app come to life. What gives? I never had this problem before the update, and my machine is beefy, so speed has always been fine. I've Googled this, have found nothing. (cross-posted)

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

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)

 

Get Started app wont launch

Their is no error message in opens for like half a second then closes, and the Option Windows Store Apps is not there

Thanks

Hey Shawn,
I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
Go figure!
