Windows 10: Mail app opens Outlook but its still 2023

Hi I'm aware that there is a migration from the default Mail app to Outlook upcoming, however everything I can find online about it states that this isn't happening until 2024. Today I went to open the default Mail app which I prefer 100000x over Outlook but user feedback doesn't really matter at MS and I get that and then Outlook opens. I tried uninstalling Outlook and then when i click the default Mail app I get a pop-up saying I need to download Outlook to "open this ms outlook link". So the app icon gets turned into an Outlook link overnight, all by itself. This is hilarious but stupid.

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)

Hey Shawn,
I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
Go figure!
