Windows 10: Scan App not Working

I changed printers and cannot change the printer to the new one. I have uninstalled the app and no luck. The drop down screens for printer, flatbed, and type of file do not even show up. Am attaching an image of the screen. Any help would be helpful as I have lots of scanning to do. Thanks!

• Press Windows and type pictures
• Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

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)
