MS People app appearing as ms-resource:AppListName in Start Menu






Been having this for a while I think, I don't use the people app (nor do I use the Start menu that much else, to be honest, I use a keystroke launcher) just an OCD thing to fix really, if its possible. I've already tried updating all apps from the MS Store.

winver is 19042.789 Enterprise x64

 

My people app changed its name to ms resource - applistname Plz help .

MS People app appearing as ms-resource:AppListName in Start Menu

Thanks! but that guide assumes another app. MS People app is still offered in the Store. The solution doesn't work in my particular case.

Okay I did some digging around... apparently the Microsoft People app is gone and now you can access it from the Calendar app.

What I did was, remove the package with Powershell, which removed ms-resource:AppListName from the Start Menu.

I then tried to reinstall the Microsoft People app, both from Powershell and the Store, which was successful in both cases but didn't create any Microsoft People shortcut in the Start Menu (nor did it re-create the ms-resource:AppListName shortcut).

Also tried re-registering all app entries with Powershell but it also didn't create any shortcut to the MS People app. So I guess it's gone, at least on 19042.789.

Dunno if anyone can confirm this.
