Windows 10: How do I stop an app from asking for my pin so my child can just open the app freely?

I let my child download Genshin Impact a while ago. He keeps needing to ask for my password. I get annoyed with it every day when he accidentally closes it. I reviewed the files, changed the app permission, and even let the app have complete admin control. But it still asks for my password, and my child is over 15 and keeps having to ask. My child is also getting annoyed with it too. How do I stop it from asking for my password every time he wants to play Genshin?

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)

Open file location is missing in pinned apps

The setting that turns these jump lists on or off for pinned app on the taskbar (you can also right-click on apps in the Start menu to see them) is found in Settings - Personalisation - Start. The last toggle in the list is 'Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or taskbar'.

BTW: A quick way to clear all Jump Lists is to turn this off then back on again.
