Windows 10: How do I change the Windows 11 Start button and mail app icons?

I have already changed the icons for a number of other apps, as can be seen in the image, but I can't find any info on how to change the Start button icon or the mail app icon. I want to put my own ones there, on the taskbar and start menu, everywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

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)
