  1. Sometimes my Taskbar does not work (no Startmenu or Calendar will open) - Need to restart...


    As the title say, i have some very weird issue. Sometimes my Taskbar is somehow locked, i can not start a programm, open start menu or anything at all.

    In order to fix that, i need to go into the Task Manager and restart Windows Explorer.

    Is there anything i can do to fix that?

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Sometimes my Taskbar does not work (no Startmenu or Calendar will open) - Need to restart... :)

    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)

  3. windows 10: windows icon, search windows, and calendar not working

    Hi Sean,

    A possible reason for this issue is a broken start menu and taskbar notification icons. It is sometimes due to updates. We suggest resetting the Taskbar.

    To reset the task bar please follow these steps:

    • Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC key to open Task Manager.
    • On the Processes tab, look for Windows Explorer.
    • Right-click Windows Explorer, then click Restart.
    • Wait for File Explorer to restart and see if Taskbar starts working again.

    Let us know if this procedure works for you.

    Windows Taskbar Calendar not Working

    Hi,

    It's really odd for an update/s to cause an issue to a computer since they were made to enhance the performance of its system and to fix the bugs/glitches. Let just say that a conflict on your system files are the one that causing the issue from the last
    update. Let's see if turning on and off the the clock in the system icon menu will make a difference. Follow these steps to do so:

    • Right click on the Taskbar, then choose Taskbar settings.
    • Scroll down to Notification area, then click on Turn system icons on or off.
    • Toggle the Clock icon off, then close the Settings menu.
    • Repeat steps #1-#3 to toggle on the Clock icon on.

    Once done, check if you'll be able to pull up the Calendar on the taskbar.

    We're looking forward to your feedback.
