Windows 10 Control Panel MS Office 2016 Mail Icon error “Application Not Found”

Today I was working on a computer where opening the Mail Icon in the Control Panel just showed error “Application Not Found”. I removed MS Office 2016 and reinstalled it and it did not fix the issue. I had to go to Control Panel – Programs and click on MS Office 2016 and then select change and repair. It asked me if I want to do online repair so it can download needed files. It took a long time but this fixed the issue. Mail icon in the Control Panel will now open again with no error.

Today I had a problem with my Steam client. I would double click on my icon to open Steam and nothing would happen. This is how I fixed this issue on my Windows 10 computer.

  2. find steam.exe and rename it to steam.exe.old
  3. restart your computer
  4. Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  5. rename steam.exe.old back to steam.exe
  6. open steam client – it will start installing an update and then it will open Steam application.
