  1. Can't make .c files always open with a specific app.


    I couldn't seem to find anything similar to this problem online. All my .c files open with notepad by default instead of the desired IDE. This problem only occurs with c files and only on this computer. I also can't seem to post a picture screenshot on here. I've tried right-clicking on the file -> Hover over "Open With" and clicked "choose another app" -> The only option that is there after choosing the IDE is "Just once"Thank you!

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Can't make .c files always open with a specific app. :)

    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)
