    Opening Windows APP with "... the paramerter is incorrect" error


    Hi


    I'm using Windows 10 version: 2004_19041.329, recently, after some Windows APPs get updated by Microsoft Store, like Skype, Cortana, and NVIDIA Control Panel, these APPs won't start after a fresh startup or rebooting. They always show me the error of "......<App Path> the parameter is incorrect".


    However, the strange thing is, if I log off and re-enter windowsnot a rebooting, all these APPs can be open without any problem, the "... the parameter is incorrect" error is gone - until next fresh startup of windows or rebooting.


    I googled this kind of issue, and I found it's really a common one, but it seems there is no feasible solution.


    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Opening Windows APP with "... the paramerter is incorrect" error :)

    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)

    The issue might be occurring because of any corruption in the system/program files. To diagnose the issue let’s try the below steps and check if the issue appears there as well.

    • Do you get any error message while opening the app?

    Run the troubleshooter for Windows app
    The app troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause issues with applications. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter.
