Windows 10: Reading View App No Longer Works

I absolutely loved the Windows 10 reading view app, but it doesn't seem to work on many sites. Since the last Windows 10 upgrade, it no longer works on sites it worked on previously. Is there anyway to get it back? Please fix this to work on all sites as it is a great feature for those of us who like reading online. Thank you.

Mail app no longer works

I am running Windows 10 on my PC.

Up until recently, I was happily using the action center to view emails. I would look at the notifications, and then click on the "Mail" icon to open the Mail app.

I have been using the Mail app that is built into Windows, and I view 5 separate emails there.

Now, I get the notifications, but if I click on them, nothing happens. If I right-click on them, I only get notification options (Go To Notification Settings, or Turn Off Notifications).

Likewise, where the "Mail" icon used to be, it says: microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3dbbwe!microsoft.windowslive.mail. But, I cannot do anything by clicking on that.

In trying to resolve that problem, I noticed that my start menu no longer shows tiles. It is just the list. And I cannot get it back to tiles.

Also, the app "mail" is no longer in that list on the start menu.

When I search for "Mail and Calendar" it takes me to the windows store, which says the product is installed.

But, there is noplace on my computer where i can find the way into the mail app.

Please. I need help. I cannot even find the windows store app on my app list.

 

Facebook App No Longer Works - Nokia N97

Face book app and Nokia communities beta both started working again late this afternnon :smileyhappy:

 

This is Reading View in Edge you're talking about? I'm afraid 'we' can't fix it because TenForums is, as it says at the bottom of each page....

We can, perhaps offer advice that may help. For that we'd need to know:

• the address of a page that used to work for you but now doesn't.
• the build number of your Windows 10 (run Winver to find out).

 

Sorry to get back to you so late on this, but I couldn't find this page again. The site I was talking about is Archive of Our Own. The app no longer works with any of the stories there. My Windows 10 build is currently 1607.

 

Yes @dustnik, I see what you mean. In the latest 1607 (os build 14393.1066) Edge's 'reading view' is not available for pages on Home | Archive of Our Own such as (chosen at random) Get Me. 1/1. - punky_96 - The Devil Wears Prada (2006) [Archive of Our Own] I've tried a few things in Edge like turning off 'use Microsoft compatibility lists' but there's nothing I've found that can convince Edge to enable reading view for that particular page.

However, you CAN read that page in reading view - just click the 'Download' button and choose HTML. You then see a rather sparse version of the page, but crucially it's now a page that works in reading view.

You may like to know that reading view has had quite a make-over for the Creators Update - oh, and it works on Archive of Our Own without any problems.
