  1. Apps won’t open:


    My computer will work fine for the first 10 minutes, after that it will refuse to open any applications and if something is loading it will be stuck. When I restart the computer it gets stuck in restart screen so I have to shut it down and turn it on again. I tried various trouble shooting steps including a factory reset. During the reset my computer was not connecting to the wifi so I had to download windows from the device. I also tried an in place upgrade but was met with an error on the website after clicking download. I am on windows 11. I have 32gb of ram so that shouldn’t be a problem e

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin)
      to open elevated Command prompt.

    • Type the following commands.

    • Hit enter, the blackscreen will appear still for a couple of seconds. After a couple of second a new line saying C:\.... will appear.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

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

    Windows won`t open an program when using Microsoft user

    Windows won`t open an program when I try to open it with Microsoft account user, but when I login with local account, that program opens. I have tried with 2 Microsoft accounts, 1 admin and 1 normal user, and it won`t open in either one of them. What can cause this?
