Anyone know how to reinstall "Mail & Calendar" on 10162?
How did you uninstall them?
You cannot from the menu.
You could go to settings > update and security > recovery > reset this PC
Go to the Store,
sign-in with the user icon,
right click the user icon,
select Library
press show all - apps category
press the down arrow to the right of Mail.
I'm not on Win10 at the moment, so I can't verify that Mail is available - it might be branded as something else or have a codename - Windows Mail, Outlook Mail, Communications ....
Library might also be labeled My Library
You'll figure it out if the names are close enough.
I have a PowerShell script that will uninstall the app if a simple re-install doesn't do the trick. I need to change the Mail app release number and test it.
Mail on my machine won't recognize my account nor will it let me re-create it (says it's already configured - go figure )
I have noticed that on my other machine with 10162, when open the Mail & Calendar and came out a message said something about an issue, then direct me to reinstall from the Store. Any idea to purposely crash it to force it to reinstall?
Since the Store doesn't show any of your installed apps, you might want to try
Run [ WSreset ]
Also be sure that you are signing in with the same MS account that you used in previous builds.
Yes, that is the base script - it is specific to windowscommunicationsapps though.
To see all apps installed just issue the following in a PowerShell Window (elevated if you plan on removing any)
Get-AppxPackage
I'm not on Win10 right now, so I can't dbl check what apps are returned. Mail might be separated out of the above package and 'live' on it's own.
You can also try in an elevated Command Prompt
- SFC /ScanNow
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

After you have removed the Mail & Calendar app, search it in the store and reinstall:
Removed successfully! I was not done right when Slartybart suggested the first place.
Now reinstalling.........
