    Can't operate my software. Lenovo laptop came with windows 10 or 11. Can onlt login to laptop. Not access or operate any apps. Email error says file is not where it should be to be opened. How did this happen? Web browser wants me to finish setting it up. I had access to the two websites I run prior to this. Now it's like I haven't setup anything. I can't even sign off! I have to just cut the power. I have a blue screen with the windows icon on it.

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows won't open any apps. Can only sign-on to laptop. :)

    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)
