  2. Regions speech not available despite correct language pack install

  3. Mail and Calendar App refuses to launch

    Hello Austen,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that the Mail App refuses to launch in Windows.

    To be able to understand the issue better, let us know if you receive any error messages related to the issue.

    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check for the latest updates in Windows 10 which helps the PC to make optimal use of Windows 10 capabilities as well as fixing any missing links in performance of the operating system.

    To check for updates now, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update, and select
    Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

    Now, I suggest you to refer to the below link to deploy the Troubleshooter for Windows 10 apps
    and check if it helps.
