    Windows mail app hangs after 20H2 update


    The Win10 mail app has always worked well for me.
    Recently, after 20H2 update, it started hanging. When I click on a message it doesn't show up and at the process "Microsoft Outlook Communications" starts to take about 25% of the CPU.
    I tried to reset the app, uninstall and reinstall, DSIM, app hangs trobleshooter… Nothing is solving the problem.


    I have the same issue in two different computers.

    Note: I'm using it with a gmail account

    Any help?
    Thanks

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows mail app hangs after 20H2 update :)

    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)

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

    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!
