    Cannot install apps as administrator


    my account is currently listed as the only account on the program, and I am the sole administrator. I have attempted to install apps, but have encountered DLL issues stating that I did not have the necessary permissions. also, there is no "run as administrator" button for right clicking on applications, and when I go into the "manage" for the application, the "run as administrator" is greyed out and cannot be pressed. how do I fix this?

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Cannot install apps as administrator :)

    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)
