Why suddenly all Windows Store apps in the search results have the Photo Gallery Icon

All of a sudden, as of recently, all the Windows Store apps that come up in the Start Menu search results have the Photo Gallery icon rather than the app's icon. Is this a bug or a change to the Store or windows 10?

The app's icon still appears in the start menu and taskbar. Also, non Windows Store apps aren't affected.

 

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)
