Windows 10: Why cant i open maps?

So, every time I click the map on my computer, it takes me to msn. But when it opens the map, it just takes me to the homepage. Every time. Other things work, but the maps won't even let me open them. Instead they re-direct me to the home page over and over. I'm stressed and worried about the hurricane and want to know more, but without my map and radar I am completely blind. Please, how do I resolve this? My PC is updated, drivers updated, and I use MSN's website since I dont have any other devices to use it with.

Windows Maps App.

Hi, Peter

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, I understand your concern and will try to assit you in the best way we can.

Have you tried restarting your system and check if you are able to find the app in your computer. If not then I would suggest that you do so and check if you are able to locate the app.

I would also suggest that you go to your c: drive locate Program Files open WindowsApps and check if the app is present there.

If you still cant find the app in your system then follow the steps mentioned below to remove and re-install Maps.

• On the search bar, type “Powershell” right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
• Copy and paste the command stated below

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsMaps* |remove-appxpackage

• This will remove Maps from your system, you can install the app again from Store. But it will required to close Windows Store (if opened) to reinstall Maps.

Hope this information helps
