Windows 10: this app can't open

ok so in april 2023 microsoft did its usual update and like always 2nd laptop it screwed things up where i no longer had control of microsoft stuff. couldn't get into setting or anything. i was still able to get onto the internet and do my stuff. so for the past couple of months microsoft kept trying to update but wasn't able to, once it got to 96% it stated unable to update UNDOING everything. yup this went on for weeks until today i guess finally the laptop or microsoft had enough and when i woke up it was giving me these option one of them was to reset. so i did that yeah it took about 3 hr

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)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hey Shawn,
I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
Go figure!

Can I customize the list of suggest apps in the "Open with" menu?

You can't use it to add additional programs, only to set default programs.

Interestingly for me it shows nothing for text files:








Then if I want to add a portable app like Jarte Plus to open with context menu windows doesn't like it.





It's not present and is near impossible to add even via "look for an app on this PC"

OpenWithAdd to the rescue:
