    How do I change my profile picture in the Mail app?


    I need to change the profile picture in the mail app but I can't figure out how. I tried changing it through the computer's account settings but nothing changed. There isn't even an option in the Mail app to change this photo, at least not one that I can find.

    :)

    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)

    How do I change my profile picture in the Mail app?

    contact pictures not showing in mail app

    The next troubleshooting step we suggest is to uninstall and reinstall the Mail app. Here are the steps:


    • Click the Start button.

    • Type Windows Powershell.

    • Right-click Windows Powershell and click
      Run as
      Administrator.

    • Type Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage

    • Press Enter.



    Note: The Mail app and the Calendar app are tied together, so the Calendar app will get uninstalled as well.



    After uninstalling the Mail app, restart your computer. You can then reinstall it by following these steps:


    • Click the Start button.

    • Type Windows Powershell.

    • Right-click Windows Powershell and click
      Run as Administrator.


    • Type Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    • Press Enter.



    When choosing a contact photo, the Photos app would show the pictures under the "Collection" tab by default. You can click the last icon, which would bring you to the "Folders"
    tab. You can then browse the folders in your computer for the picture you want.
