    Mail and Calendar crash and no ability to add accounts


    Hello. I have been using Windows 10 (home) for a while and I know my way around generally. Today, I'm having a weird issue with Mail and Calendar apps as both started to crash without any apparent reason. I tried to remove them (using powershell) and reinstalled from Store then I was not able to add any accounts to either. Both apps freeze on the window where I should start creating the accounts with the respective button inactive and then the app crash after a couple of minutes. Here are some screen-shots to show the problem:

    Both apps are the latest versions and I have no pending updates in either the Store or Windows Update. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Update:

    For an unknown reason, both apps started to work fine the next day on their own. It may have been a glitch but I still would be happy to know and learn about that issue.
