going to do some more testing and check out these extra comments
Currently Action centre is turnoff off
going to reboot and then turn it back on
then I will set to receive mails as they arrive (have tried this in the past but not since last updates)
I will leave mail open all day
what I am also thinking, is it possible to totally uninstall mail/calendar, I know there is a powershell command, but this doesn't totally remove it, it just seems to remove it from the logged in user which then requires a partial re install from the store, so if something in the main part of it is corrupt (all users profile)it is not getting uninstalled
anyway, going to reboot now and set notifications/settings back, I will return shortly :)
Ok I got to ask you guys, since I've been reading your posts last few days. When you guys are running Win10's mail app, are you using it to monitor like live mail/outlook, gmail, or yahoo mail accounts??? Reason is my mail app, NOT built-in windows mail, works 100% with no problems, and I don't have to change all the settings on my computer, just to run my mail notify app. Any windows mail app that makes user jump thru hoops, like you guys are doing ain't worth the trouble.
changes have been made, let see how it goes
sfc reports no errors
dism report no errors
reliability history has no errors
event viewer shows no errors
this is why I get
Yes you can completely uninstall it. It seems a bit involved though - there may be a better way but I don't know it. From elevated powershell:
But this doesn't delete the packages from your PC. You want to delete it from C:\Program Files\WindowsApps as well so if you don't want to mess with the permissions of the folder (best not to), from elevated command prompt take ownership and delete the relevant directories (you may not have all depending on your version)Code:$app="microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps" Get-AppxPackage -Name $app -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | where DisplayName -EQ $app | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
Then you can go to the store and download it again.Code:takeown /f "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6208.42001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /r icacls "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6208.42001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /grant "%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%":(F) /t rmdir "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6208.42001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /s /q takeown /f "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6208.42001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /r icacls "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6208.42001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /grant "%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%":(F) /t rmdir "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6208.42001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /s /q takeown /f "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6224.42281.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /r icacls "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6224.42281.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /grant "%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%":(F) /t rmdir "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6224.42281.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /s /q takeown /f "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6224.42281.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /r icacls "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6224.42281.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /grant "%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%":(F) /t rmdir "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_2015.6224.42281.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe" /s /q
