Windows 10: Charging for Free open Source in the Windows Store

Gimp 2.10 is free , Blue Fish editor is free, as is Clementine Player yet ​

I am seeing. these apps. pop up in the windows store for 10$ and up.​

Free and open source programs should remain just that. Free and open source .​

Ain't no glory in just repacking another devs app you got for free, no extra features ,then trying to make money off it. ​

From now on every one I see like that, I'm gonna put a free one right behind it. At least add to it ,DEVELOP it. ​

Windows 10 Store opens for no reason by it's self.

Hi,

To resolve the issue with your Windows Store, we suggest that you reset it by following the steps listed:

• Press Windows Key + R to open Run.
• Type wsreset.exe, and click OK.

It will show a command prompt window which is blank, but it is clearing the cache. Just wait for the Store to close and open automatically.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

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

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)
