    I was doing some work with Unity, and I was trying to clear it because I had conflicting versions installed. I tried to open the settings to remove them all via control panel, but when I went to do so, it crashed. I tried PowerShell, the command prompt, and even restarting my PC, but nothing. the last time i remember opening it was two days ago, and it was working fine. What should I do?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. The settings app on my Windows 10 pc is not staying open.  It opens up for a second, then... :)

    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)
