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)

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

OpenWithAdd to the rescue:

Yep, I see the same.

I tried adding Paint to Open With for txt. That also appeared in the More Options list.

The first of those corresponds to Snip & Sketch (simply search and find refs to the Appx string)
