  2. What App to use to open a .mht file?

    I downloaded the MHTViewer from the Windows Store but it won't open my Windows Steps Recorder files.

    I would appreciate very much another suggestion that can view a .mht file that has pictures mixed with text.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Whenever i try opening a file or a app ive downloaded, it always asks 'how do you want to... :)

    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)
