Windows 10: If I resize an UWP app, it is broken.

Hi, I terminated DWM.EXE again and if I resize an UWP app, it looks like it is broken. Can you help me?Look:

Resizing Application (UWP) Windows is broken

SYMPTOM: I resize a window larger, but only the Window border grows larger. The size of the painted area stays the same.

• Happens on multiple UWP (Windows-10style) "apps" such as Settings!, sticky-notes,
  photo viewer,.
  
• Happens on two very different 64-bit Windows 10 computers:
  • Dell XPS 15 laptop with 4k monitor running Intel embedded graphics. (Since an upgrade, I believe)
    
  • Desktop with HD monitor running Nvidia GeForce 1060 graphics card. (Newly purchased & installed Windows 10 ISO.)
    

Only workaround is to resize the window to the desired size, kill it using ALT+F4 (usually the "red X" isn't visible) and restart. Needless to say, this is very inconvenient.

Windows version on the laptop: Windows 10 Pro update 1703 (10.0.15063 Build 15063)

One screenshot is in
this (locked) question. Surely this is a windows bug, no? Any solutions to it? (I would prefer not to upgrade to a later update just yet, on advice from my IT department & I heard that I'd lose Paint!)

 

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)
