Windows 10: Not able to use many apps..they look like this (see screenshot)

need help

Lock vs Login screen screenshot


Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!

 

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)

Sam, I went to the Site you suggested and it does not look the same as is described. TRY THIS yourself.

It says:

[*]Go to your
Google Account.
[*]On the left navigation panel, choose Security.
[*]On the "Signing in to Google" panel, choose App Passwords. If you don’t see this option:

• 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account
• 2-Step Verification is set up for security keys only
• Your account is through work, school, or other organization
• You’ve turned on Advanced Protection for your account

[*]At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you’re using.
[*]Choose Select device and choose the device you’re using.
[*]Choose Generate.

**SELECT APP** (see above) is missing.
