  1. Can’t open any apps or click anything on windows?


    Clicking on apps wouldn’t open them, clicking on the shutdown button wouldn’t work and manually shutting down my computer using the power button wasn’t working. I decided to cut off the power because there was nothing I could do except that. Well I thought that would work until I realised my pc is not switching on now

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Can’t open any apps or click anything on windows? :)

    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!
