  1. How to remove programs from Open With ... More Apps


    Hello,
    I am trying to remove apps I have opened before with Open with -> Choose another app -> More apps -> Look for another app on this PC. The programs I opened through this now listed in my Open with -> More apps.
    I wish to clean this list up but I cannot locate the entries in the registry.
    Could someone help me please?

    :)

    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)

    File Explorer > Open With > remove Windows Store & Metro apps?


    A web search for
    remove from open with
    suggests a registry edit
    Remove Programs from the Open With Menu in Explorer

    Now note that update checks for universal apps are scheduled every 4 hours.
    I cannot tell you if an update will cause the key to be recreated.

    Personally the risk presented by reg. editing outweighs the minor inconvenience of seeing sthg you don't want - and I find I rarely use Open With- and when I do there's a list of desktop programs.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hey Shawn,
    I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
    Go figure!
