Windows 10: What have you done to my Computer? W10 Mail app.

After a Microsoft update on10/09/24 my Mail app has been taken over by "New Outlook". I don't want New Outlook and its disguised adverts. I have previously been able to go to Settings> Default apps and re- selected Mail as default. This no longer appears to get access to Mail. What is going on? How do I get W10 Mail back?Phrustrated Phil

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!
