    I havent been able to install printer drivers tried 3 different printers, contacted the printer companies and the said not their problem. Looked on with HP and i need HP Smart or Assistant, neither of which will actually open, i've tried fixing the apps, uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing, nothing works

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Apps will not 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)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    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!

    Apps will not open

    Can I customize the list of suggest apps in the "Open with" menu?

    You can't use it to add additional programs, only to set default programs.

    Interestingly for me it shows nothing for text files:

    Apps will not open 95392d1598876815t-can-i-customize-list-suggest-apps-open-menu-oemdefaultassociations.xml-notepad.jpg

    Then if I want to add a portable app like Jarte Plus to open with context menu windows doesn't like it.



    Apps will not open 295393d1598876890t-can-i-customize-list-suggest-apps-open-menu-open-.jpg

    It's not present and is near impossible to add even via "look for an app on this PC"

    OpenWithAdd to the rescue:


    Apps will not open 295394d1598876979t-can-i-customize-list-suggest-apps-open-menu-openwithadd_jarte.jpg

    Result:
