I have been looking for a solution to this issue for some months, I hope someone here might be able to help.

The tile (and the store)...

Howdy.

The environment:
Hp Envy.
Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.48).
All available updates applied to the OS and the Windows apps.

The issue:
Ever since I updated the OS to 1803, I get this...

Good idea.
But unfortunately right clicking anywhere in the blank areas, does not give me the opportunity to select anything.
Nor do I get a "dialog" allowing me to select a delete...

Helmut

I've checked those items you've cited but no joy.
No blanks appear in the people app at all.
Hmmmm.

Caledon Ken,

I DO have a number of contacts without email addresses.
They all show up, but only after scrolling to get down to them. (Along with the contacts that DO contain email addresses.)...

I would create a new email.
Off to the right of the "To" address filed, I would click on the Contacts icon and I would see a scrollable list of all mu contacts from which to choose....

I receive quite a few emails that contain links that, for some reason, are not hyper-links.
So, I copy the url and paste it into my browser.

I didn't know THAT.
Thanks.

Thanks "Eagle51", I'll look into that shortly.

Thank you "EyeInTheSky".
Hmmm.

You muchomurka ,are a genius !

I followed your instructions exactly as written and it worked perfectly.
I now have "SELF" listed (Once again) among the users and groups in the "Launch and...

Oops.
I forgot to rely that I'm not in a Domain.
I'm in a work group with one other pc.

Hey muchomurka (and everyone else.)
Thanks for the replies.

I tried "NT AUTHORITY\SELF", and that didn't work.
Although, I have the feeling (can't prove it though), it is something very close to...

Done ! (After reading your reply and before responding.)

I thank you for your, very sound, advice.

How...

I thank you.
