Windows 10: Windows Mail App Crashes After 21H1 Update

The Win10 mail app has always worked fine for me. Recently, after the 21H1 update, it started to hang. When I click on a message, it starts to occupy about 35% of the CPU. I tried to reset the app, uninstall and reinstall it, DSIM, the app hangs. Nothing solves the problem. Some help?

:)

 

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)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

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!
