  1. Mic not working when multiple apps open


    Hi, so When using the Xbox app or discord when I open games or sometimes even just chrome my mic will stop working on either the Xbox app or discord. I will then have to unselect my mic and re-select it in the mic setting of the respective app. Does anyone know what could be causing this or an option I can enable to stop this? Any help is appreciated Mic not working when multiple apps open :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Mic not working when multiple apps open :)

    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)

    USB Mic Problems.

    The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.
