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)

 

Cannot open mail app settings


OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.

 

Settings app crashes whenever o chose Devices category

My settings app crashes whenever I go into the devices category. After some oubleshooting I have determined that it is actually on the Bluetooth & other devices category that crashes. It just so happens that that is what opens when I chose devices. If
I open windows ink workspaces and chose pen and windows ink settings that opens fine, as well as every other setting menu under devices. Only the Bluetooth section crashes the settings app.

I am up to date.

Run sfc sca,n chkdsk, DISM repair.

There are no usb devices attached, and the only Bluetooth device I have is a headset which is currently turned off right now, and the issue still happens. I don't have any printers installed. My thinking is that the computer is seeing some device in that
list, and something with the driver, or that device is not working right. Problem is I cannot get in to see what it might be, and to remove everything.

I am on windows 10 home insider preview build 15031.rs2 running on a surface 3.

Any suggestions?
