Windows 10: Desktop App disconnected? And other issues

Hi, I've came across a weird new Windows issue since the latest update yesterday. When I first turned my PC on my desktop was completely black and my toolbar was flashing but not letting me select anything. I found a thread here on this forum that suggested rebooting in safe mode by right clicking on the restart button (since I could still lock the screen). That worked to an extent. It got me to my desk top but it was a basic set up. It then suggested a clean boot. I tried by following the instructions (Sorry I can't link to it since I'm typing this on my phone) and I hid all Microsoft apps and disabled all. Then when I went into the task menu to disable the start up apps there 1 couldn't be (avg and there was 2 identical apps and the other could be disabled). I proceeded anyway and when I restarted and as of right now when I log in I get a black desk top with that I can't change (it says the app isn't installed or can't 've found) and I can't search or view my files from the tool bar. And while the short cuts on my desk top can be selected most don't respond. I can get into my computer by the recycle bin short cut then selecting a drive. Also the list of drives is missing my C and E drives (I have a partition) but has my F (external drive). It seems like my PC can't detect apps or folders on my harddrive or something. I can manually navigate my C and E but can't search or anything. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I've tried PowerShell to scannow and that said it fixed some corrupt file but no change. Any help would be really appreciated thanks.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

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

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)
