OneNote and Mail Updating Errors on Win 10 9879

 

There are lots of reports of the OneNote and Mail, Calendar, and People apps not updating on the latest build 9879 of the Windows 10 Technical Preview. I’ve seen these myself and this is how I’ve fixed them

 

 

For OneNote:

1)      Start Admin command prompt and type “powershell” and press Enter    

2)      In powershell prompt: get-appxpackage *microsoft.office.onenote* | remove-appxpackage    

3)      In powershell prompt: remove-appxprovisionedpackage –Online –PackageName Microsoft.Office.OneNote_2014.919.2035.737_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe   

4)     Restart Store, Search for OneNote app and install

 

For Mail, Calendar, and People

 

1)      Start Admin command prompt and type “powershell” and press Enter    

2)      In powershell prompt: get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage    

3)      In powershell prompt: remove-appxprovisionedpackage –Online –PackageName microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.5.9879.20671_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe – this might error – ignore it    

4)     Restart Store, Search for Mail app and install – might fail to install the first time, but try a second time and it should install
