Windows 10: Microsoft Store Won't Install Mail and Calendar

This is the 3rd time I am facing problems with Mail and other apps not installing in MS Store and I don't want to do a system reset again just to fix it. I have a Dell Inspiron 3280 AIO with Windows 10 on it. I had been noticing:

1. Microsoft Store wasn't installing apps

2. Windows Mail was not configuring certain accounts


So, first I reinstalled Microsoft Store, but it's still not installing apps even with the Firewall off


I ran the troubleshooter, but it didn't find any issues.


I uninstalled Mail using the Powershell method. But when I went back into the store to install it again no dice. I click on install and nothing happens. I have restarted and cold booted multiple times today, with no end in sight.


It's been a very frustrating day. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great. I have been looking for a way to install mail from PowerShell since doing it from the store isn't working.


There is no error message, it just doesn't do anything. Another app that I tried to install just sits saying "pending."


Thanks,

~Lori

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)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

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!

Mail and Calendar default application

I can select mail. Problem for selecting from store is that link takes you to store. Mail and Calendar is listed as installed. But there I can not find a way to select it as default. Am I missing something. Same case for calendar default selection from store.
