Windows 10: NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO APP PINNING? Update: Youve broken the app.

Jesus this program is the biggest headache of all programs sometimes.WHY in gods name would you remove the ability to pin phone apps to taskbar\start menu? "Favorites" SUCKS. Now to control my smart devices I have to open the program, then open the app "favorite." This is TERRIBLE and I am sure its not intended design, so this is also a bug report.UPDATE: Open the program. Favorite an app. Open that app. Close it. Close phone link to tray. Splash screen sticks, app doesnt close. You guys really suck.*Downgraded because I know how. You better not force this sh*tty update. Holy moses.

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)
