    Some apps don't automatically get focus after opened from Windows search


    When I search for an app on my system with Windows search, I am used to open it, the application gains focus and I can start typing right away - that should be the default behavior. However, this doesn't lot of times work and the opened apps don't gain focus. It seems to be connected to the way apps open via Windows search, because when I start typing, it's the Windows search that captures that input instead of the just opened app. This can be easily verified by opening Windows search again. This issue happens with only some apps, both built-in and custom, like Windows calculator or Cmder.Need

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Some apps don't automatically get focus after opened from Windows search :)

    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)
