Windows 10 Mail App display problems after Feb 2018 Cumulative Update problem.

[Keith Amacher]

My Mail app is messed up after the update and looks like I will need to reinstall it and possible data loss after Feb Cumulative update and restart. Any ideas guys?

Hi Keith,

Welcome to the Forum.

You ought to be able to remove the built-in Mail app, then reinstall it without losing any personal mail, however you may need to set up password and imap protocols again for your email account.

• Right-click on Start and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) then,
• Click yes when prompted by the User Account Control
• In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell console type or copy & paste the following:

Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage

Press Enter key to execute. This will remove the built-in Windows 10 Mail app & Calendar​

• Close the console and any other open programs, then restart computer
• When signed-in again, open the Windows PowerShell (Admin) again, and type or copy & paste the following command:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"

Press Enter key to execute. This command will install any built-in app you have removed previously, including the Windows 10 Mail & Calendar app.​

• Close the console when done, then open your Mail app, and check your settings are correct then sync to allow it to grab your personal files and any new emails.
