Windows 10: Installing the Microsoft People app

My People app was broken, so I decided to reinstall it. I deleted the app through PowerShell, however I wasn't able to reinstall it. I've tried various methods, but none have worked yet. I'm pretty frustrated by now. Does anyone know ways to install the People app and bring it to work again?

APP for People

Hi FrancesPadula,

I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

If you need an App to manage your contact list, you can use the built-in People App from Microsoft.

Please follow this steps:

1. Press WINDOWS + S

2. Type "People" without quotes and press ENTER

3. Click "People" app from the list of results.

If you want to install another app, you can do that searching the app name on Microsoft Store.

 

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)

 

Issue with People app


I'm running a clean install of Win 10, less than a week old, and I'm seeing some odd behaviour with the People app.

When I'm in Mail, I can see a contact's details by clicking on the "Open Contact" option from within the message. This opens the People app. So far so good.

However, this seems to be the only way I can access People. There's no obvious way to access it otherwise from mail, it's not listed in "All apps": also, when the People app is open, it has no icon in the taskbar - just an empty space where the icon should be (I can grab this anti-icon and move it around the taskbar).

Any suggestions welcome...
