Windows 10: REmove HELLO

I have inherited my mother's computer and, when trying to delete her microsoft account, I'm asked to use Hello. This feature was never set-up by her and I keep getting into the loop of 'enter your Hello PIN' - forgot PIN - enter PIN. There is no camera and no method of using fingerprint on her PC

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)
