  1. This app can't open Windows Security


    Potentially unwanted app foundto review your options, go to windows security.Windows security was spamming that it detected some threats and then when I tried to open it the app this message popped up "There’s a problem with Windows Security. Reinstall the application from its original install location or contact your administrator." and seems like other apps like Microsoft store, Microsoft photos, Windows update are not working as wellFirewall won't open also

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. This app can't open Windows Security :)

    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)
