Windows 10: Is windows 10 map app broken?

I've seen the answers for this issue including changing the default location or setting a new one and changing my region in the settings even though the info were correct to begin with.


The thing is I can set my current destination as a default location but it seems to be different than clicking the My Location option on the right panel. I live far from any mainlands yet My Location is set to Nepal. (Microsoft Edge recently stalled on a tab requesting for my credentials, I'm pretty sure it was the indian scam people. I just ended task. I'm just wondering if this could be their doing. Weird assumption but I just want to be sure.)


Or if it's a technical difficulty are there any way to fix this other than reinstall windows 10 because that's how I fix all the problem I come across.

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)

Windows Maps App.

Hi, Peter

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, I understand your concern and will try to assit you in the best way we can.

Have you tried restarting your system and check if you are able to find the app in your computer. If not then I would suggest that you do so and check if you are able to locate the app.

I would also suggest that you go to your c: drive locate Program Files open WindowsApps and check if the app is present there.

If you still cant find the app in your system then follow the steps mentioned below to remove and re-install Maps.

• On the search bar, type “Powershell” right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
• Copy and paste the command stated below

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsMaps* |remove-appxpackage

• This will remove Maps from your system, you can install the app again from Store. But it will required to close Windows Store (if opened) to reinstall Maps.

Hope this information helps
