  1. Cannot open ANY windows 10 apps--tried every fix imaginable


    I have tried every single fix listed anywhere on the internet. Wsreset, reinstalling using powershell, clearing the cache folders, even did a repair install of windows, and also did a "reset this pc" and had it erase all data and reinstall windows --and i chose reinstall from the cloud option that seems to be a new option i hadnt seen before. Even after reinstalling windows, the first thing we tried was to open the microsoft store, and it just opens for 2 seconds and then closes. This is the same behavior with ALL windows apps photos, feedback, etc.


    I did try to start a clean install using a recovery drive i created on another computer using the media creation tool, but when i try to boot to that usb i get this error: "cannot find script file "X\onekey\main\lrscall.vbs"".


    At this point, im thinking i just need to replace the SSD drive with a new one, but this doesnt feel like a hard drive issue, otherwise it would affect other things besides just windows apps.

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Cannot open ANY windows 10 apps--tried every fix imaginable :)

    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)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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!
