Windows 10: How do I REMOVE "App Installer?"

There is an "App" called App Installer on my laptop. It's Not an actual app as it is not listed in settings in the programs, so I assume it's something that Microsoft slid in unbeknownst to me, the user. I would like to remove it, but I cannot figure out a way to do so. If someone over there could PLEASE provide me with a solution for this, I would greatly appreciate it as I am very limited on drive space and need to free up everything I can that I'm not using. App Installer, unfortunately falls into that category for me.

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)
