    Hi,

    is there a way to re-install the windows 10 mail and calendar apps? I found a PowerShell command for older builds, but it does not work on the actual one. So could someone help me?

    Open the store and search for mail, the first result is Mail and Calendar, click on it and then click Install button.

    Open cmd as admin then PowerShell.

    Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* to see if "mail & calendar" is installed.

    To remove it :
    Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* |Remove-AppxPackage

    To install it :
    Go on Windows Store and install again.
