  1. Nothing is opening


    On laptop, windows 10, after log in desktop appears. But if i click on any icon, it is not opening, start button not opening, sometimes blue ball rotates and it ends after sometime. Rebooted many times, even restored to previous date. But nothing happening, only desktop showing. Ctrl+alt+del showing message " preparing security options".

    Pls help.

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Nothing is opening :)

    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)
