Windows 10: Windows 10 Home, Mail app fails to print, sometimes (problems in Settings?)

I am using Windows 10 Home, fully updated. The MS Mail app sometimes fails to print to my only printer. If I look in MS Settings/Printers it shows my printer is "not connected", if I click "manage" it says the printer is "idle" and will happily print me a test page! All other apps are fine, I can print from WORD, EXCEL etc. I have tried Restarting but that doesn't work. Some days it is fine, but not today! A bit cheesed-off! A proper solution required, anyone HELP!

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. *Smile

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)

 

Cannot open mail app settings


OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.
