    cesMany of the symptoms and possible fixes are mentioned in this active thread Phone Link App does not open/startThere are still a lot of users without a solution. Since it is now a default OS app, there is no longer a Windows Store app. I tired everything discussed there, but all I get is a few seconds of the splash screen.The " Turn on Phone link" button brings up nothing more that a two second splash screen, which them disappears, but that's all. The "Manage devices" button does not respond at all, Here's one thing I have never seen reported. The "Desktop" entries we see, apart from th

    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We appreciate you for trying the troubleshooting steps.



    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Run Windows app troubleshooter.

    Refer to the below link:

    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store - Microsoft Support

    Step 2: Run shell commands for Windows store and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin)
      to open elevated Command prompt.

    • Type the following commands.



      powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

    • Hit enter, the blackscreen will appear still for a couple of seconds. After a couple of second a new line saying C:\.... will appear.

    • Close Command Prompt.

    • Try to start the Windows Store again.


    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Phone Link App broken, won't open :)

    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)

    Phone Link App does not open/start

    Thanks Sabya.

    I have already tried these steps, and just tried again now.

    I additionally tried to run Repair as well as Reset, but the App still does not run.

    I had seen the post from the link you sent here, but found this not very useful, as some of the instructions suggested do not seem to exist on my Windows edition, and also require the App to open to get to the suggestions listed, which I am unable to do.

    Just to clarify, I am running Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2.
