  3. App and Browser Control crashing in Windows 11

    Hi MuinAbrar,

    Please check your SecHealthUI package version by running the following command in PowerShell.

    • get-appxpackage *sechealth*
    What's the version reported?

    Also, check the following link.

    If reinstalling the package doesn't help, you may have to repair install Windows 11.

    App & browser control won't open

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. App & browser control won't 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)
