Windows 10: I can't login to Microsoft Mail App with Google

Hello,I need help to login with my Google Account in my Windows Mail and Calendar App Microsoft Store Page from Microsoft Store.The Problem is, after klicking on add Account-->Google, the window starts loading and jumping back to the main account page without any error message: Video.I tried to reinstall the app, reset the app in settings and deleted all cache files in Appdata folder.This problem has started in Windows 10. Now I have upgraded to Windows 11 and the problem still appears.

Google account login not working with Microsoft Family Safety enabled.

I have two Windows 10 computers/accounts that have Microsoft Family Safety enabled for my 13 & 15 year olds. Both are not able to login to their Google accounts via IE11, Edge browser or even the built in mail app. If I disable MS Family Safety on their
accounts, everything (Google account login) works just fine. There are no site restrictions in place and placing Google in the allow list has no effect.

Anyone experience the same problem or have any suggestions.

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)
