Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10166 Insider

recruit2 · 10 Jul 2015

Have just installed 10166 :) Woohoo!

Already noticed one bug has been fixed: Flickering search box popup/dialogue on SP3/i7/256. Completely resolved now, can't make it happen at all.

As you can see, NO Mail there. But it still exists in my computer and Store tells me it is already installed..

Just FYI, I also have a dead Mail tile. Always had. Clean or upgraded build. Does anynone actually has a really live mail tile with snippets of unread e-mails appearing? I have just my Outlook.com account and the tile is set to Wide.

What am I doing wrong, please?

As far as I can see you are not doing anything wrong. The Mail & Calendar app is clearly uninstalled / removed from the system.

I am at the moment temporarily using Build 10162 due ongoing clean installs of Build 10166. In my computers using 10162 the command works without an issue. It will take some time before I can test this in 10166.

This might or might not work, please test: Sign out / sign back in. Now reset the Store (elevated command prompt, command wsreset, OR search for wsreset, right click and select Run as administrator).

Check the store again. Is the Mail & Calendar app still shown as installed?

For me the command to remove the email from that topic didn't worked.
I have used this to remove the email and people app, but now i can't install the mail app from the store, I get a "Try again later, something happened on our end." so.. i don't know.

Yes, unfortunately

Also, in the list it shows uninstalled but...it is fully running! (I've removed my e-mails and other personal info) :

OK, I get the same in 10166. Mail & Calendar shows uninstalled in PowerShell but is not really uninstalled. I am sorry, I have not a faintest clue at the moment why this is happening. I need to try to test and find out more.

Joanne · 10 Jul 2015

Okay, let's all hope for the best and keep reporting.

Now, another issue :

- I have set the Time to 24h format, in my system. On Windows logon screen though, where you enter the PIN, it shows a 12h format, without even showing AM or PM. I always prefer the 24h format, though.

Do you have this issue? Any way to fix it?

Thank you for this! It worked! I have managed to uninstall and re-install the Mail app again! I do not know yet IF the live tile will work this time. I will observe it and edit this post, soon.

Thank you!

PS: here is the Mail app downloading after uninstalling :

It still does not show in the list of all native apps.

I just got kicked out of any ring, "Fix me" produces only "Stop insider builds". Tried all kinds of fixes but no joy. Don't know if I should try to sign out of insider builds and try again or what.
Everything else works perfectly, signed in same MS account etc. sfc /scannow produced some errors that could not fix.

While logged in to that MSA, launch Edge, go to Home page - Windows Insider Program and click "Get Started" (maybe do it twice). Fixed it for all my systems/partitions. You gotta "verify" that you want that PC/MSA on the Insider Program.

If you LEAVE the Insider Program on a specific system/partition, that will STOP you from receiving Insider builds.
