Windows 10 Mail app... gone?!?!

[TArthur99]

I just rebuild my computer, not really relevant but it does mean I have a fresh install of windows 10.

when I first booted up everything installed fine, and has been fine since... until today (right after the windows update)

my mail and calendar app (the default windows ones) have disappeared. they don't show up anywhere unless I do a windows app search in command prompt. I tried uninstalling from command prompt and reinstalling from the windows store but all that happens is I get three apps called "Mail and Calendar" that all lead to the app store downloads and updates page.

I'm lost as to what to try. doesn't really effect anything but I like having a app instead of logging in online every time.

Reinstall it from there?

 

Why not just use Thunderbird if all you want to not wanting to log in online?

doesn't work, just takes me to the windows store, which says its installed

Thunderbird is a idea, forgot about it.

Just reinstall windows since it's a clean install

Right click the start menu, run powershell(admin), and uninstall it by copy/pasting the following

Get-AppxPackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage

 

It should then give you the option to install it through the Store.
