    Microsoft updated the Mail & Calendar apps last year so that the People app didn't have its own icon in the Start Menu anymore, but you can easily recreate it ... Create a New Shortcut on your desktop by right clicking and then clicking on New / Shortcut in the popup menu.Enter "ms-people:" for the location and click on Next. Enter "People" for the name and click on Finish. The People app icon should appear on your desktop with the appropriate people icon. You can also add it back to the Start Menu by copying the shortcut to ... C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs ... where "%USER%" is the name of your user directory. You may need to turn on View / Hidden Items to see the AppData directory in File Explorer. For those of us constantly updating our contact information, this change by Microsoft was a PITA! Essentially, all they did was remove the shortcut. Blarg! You can also use this to create a shortcut key in the shortcut properties for even quicker access (eg. Ctrl-Shift-Alt-P). Sorry if it is redundant post, but I didn't see a post that addressed how to fix this.

    It looks as though the original bar graph carried over, but the member list is being renewed as people revote as a result of changing the forum software. Perhaps start all over?

    APP for People

    Hi FrancesPadula,

    I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

    If you need an App to manage your contact list, you can use the built-in People App from Microsoft.

    Please follow this steps:

    1. Press WINDOWS + S

    2. Type "People" without quotes and press ENTER

    3. Click "People" app from the list of results.

    If you want to install another app, you can do that searching the app name on Microsoft Store.
