Windows 10: App Readiness

Hi, I work in a school and have gone over to Windows 10. Logon was very slow and found out that uninstalling all apps and disabling app readiness seemed to more than half the login times which is great at the moment, the problem we have now is that windows updates fail due to app readiness being disabled. Is there a workaround for this issue? App readiness adds a minimum of 60 seconds to log in times. Thanks in advance

App Readiness - Stopped working

Hi Joe,

There could be a number of reasons as to why you are experiencing app issue in Windows 10. This could be caused by software conflict or if the App Readiness service has failed to start. The App Readiness service is running as a local system in a shared process
of svchost.exe.

Kindly verify the changes made to the computer prior to the issue. Are you getting any error messages when trying to open any applications?

Meanwhile, you have to make sure that App Readiness service is running. To do this, refer to the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
  
• On the run command, type services.msc and then hit
  Enter.
  
• Double-click App Readiness from the list of Services (Local).
  
• Go to the General tab. Under Startup type, select
  Automatic from the drop-down list.
  
• Click Start.
  
• Click Apply and then hit OK.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

 

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)
