    After Win11 Restore, i can no longer install apps but I'm still an Administrator


    Hi, everyoneI had to restore system Win 11 to a previous restore point.Everything fine, except i can no longer install apps.they claim things like "you do not have sufficient access rigths"I've got win11 Home. My profile is still as "administrator"I'm guessing is a registry permission issue as the crash that made me restore, was after messing up with themthanks!

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. After Win11 Restore, i can no longer install apps but I'm still an Administrator :)

    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)

  4. After Win11 Restore, i can no longer install apps but I'm still an Administrator

    Win11 upgrade not coming

    If you checked again my previous replies, you can see ASUS re-installed my new notebook a even newer Win10 Home installation. After this 2nd time installation, I only did these to the toy:

    1. installed chrome
    2. changed its display brightness
    3. changed wallpaper
    After your previous suggestion, the 1 month temp McAfee was gone.

    I can't figure out why I can't upgrade to Win11 for such a new notebook. Newer notebook will come with Win11 natively After Win11 Restore, i can no longer install apps but I'm still an Administrator :)
