Windows 10: Hidden-Stubborn App

I installed Fox News app from Microsoft Store, I couldn't find it in the app list or in Programs>windows app to pin it to the startup, but went to the store it said "Launch". But but from there I was able to pin it but it was a very strange tile that was unresponsive, i also was able to pin it to the task bar and was able to launch it from there. This is too weird for me, so I wanted to uninstall it, but no option was found. Then did a sys restore pre-installation, but MS aStore showed it to still be there. Help please.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

I suggest you to re-add them to the hidden items list and check.

Steps:

• Right click on the folders to hide, select Properties.
• Go to General tab, under Attributes check mark the option
  Hidden.
• Click on Apply and on Ok.

I suggest you not to use any third party anti-virus software. Try to use Windows Defender.

Refer: Using Windows Defender

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance on Windows Operating System, we will be happy to help you.

 

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)
