Windows 10: Microsoft Phot App

My laptop displays the Microsoft App Photos as Microsoft Fotos and is in German language. I would like to have the English version displayed. How do I do this? The PC is set to "Australian English" in the time and language setting.

Phots

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

• What is the app that you are referring to?
• Have you tried copying the photos in different location?

I suggest you to try copying the photos in file explorer and check if the issue persists or not.

If the Photos app is the only one crashing, it could be a problem with the Photos app database. To reset the database, perform the following:

• Press windows button + R
• Type: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
• Delete all the contents of that folder.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

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)
