  2. Xbox app crashing seconds after opening

    troubleshooter found nothing, xbox support couldnt help.

    though it appears to be my friends list loading that crashes the app, i have a 2 second window between opening the app and it crashing and if i can in that window change it from showing friends to recent players the app doesnt crash

  3. Is the Photos App completely broken? It opens but crashes after 5 seconds.

    There were so many errors in the system I just wiped everything and did a clean install. However, the Photos app still crashes immediately after opening it. I tried all the steps listed above and the problem persists. Creating a new user and doing a clean
    boot have no effect. The SFC scan reports no errors now, which is good, but the Photos app will not work despite trying everything that has been suggested. Also, the Troubleshooter for Windows Apps found no problems. Which is amusing, since there clearly is
    one.

    To recap, despite trying all methods listed above, including a clean install to clear everything and make sure I have all current updates...Photos does not work.

    I'd really like to hear a suggestion as to what to do next.

    Half of my apps are crashing seconds after opening and I can't identify a cause

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Half of my apps are crashing seconds after opening and I can't identify a cause :)

    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)
