Fix broken Mail, Calendar, and People apps

April 13, 2015

I updated my Windows 10 build to Build 10049 a couple of days ago and realized that my Mail, Colander and People apps had stopped working again. The same happened with the 10041 update and a quick reinstall of the apps from the Store and the App was functional again.

This time I received an error message.

To uninstall the app you need to use PowerShell,

Run PowerShell as Administrator and type the following command and then install the App from Store again.

Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
