    Win10 "This App Can't Open"


    Hello! Friends:


    In the last few days, a number of Apps can't open (icon blurry under Start/All Programs).


    Error message: This App Can't Open


    I tried to repair it with the Window Store Troubleshooter, but to no avail.


    Any suggestions much appreciated. Thank you.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Win10  "This App Can't Open" :)

    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)

    Hey Shawn,
    I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
    Go figure!
