    Apps Crashing but working when opening as Administrator - PLEASE HELP!


    I have apps that are not working/running but will work when you run them as an Admin. The apps that are not working are Microsoft Outlook, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop.


    All other apps are working fine and normal.


    I am really puzzled by this and Microsoft Support was - no support or help on this.


    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall > problem still exists.



    Currently running Windows 10 Pro. and just got the updates on it today. problem was happening even before the updates.



    PLEASE HELP!

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Apps Crashing but working when opening as Administrator - PLEASE HELP! :)

    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)

    Cannot open mail app settings


    OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

    1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
    2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

    get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

    After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

    Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.
