  1. Installing Apps to any drive I want to


    Recently I had to re-install windows on my PC and when I went to start installing games from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate I can now only install to the drive that is specified and if I try to set to a different drive it tells me that i must first uninstall all apps that have been installed. I do not like this feature and I want it back to where I and I alone can dictate where I install apps to. How do I go about removing this feature so I can install wherever the Hell I want on my system.

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Installing Apps to any drive I want to :)

    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)
