      I have a bit of problem with the language, therefore be patient. I was worrying for 3 days about that problem as I am not very good at computers, nursing homes resident.

      So here is my positive answer. A friend did come and went to Microsoft store and downloaded Outlook , as I didn't like Mail. Everything was OK , only outlook was no longer showing in apps and features, but in default apps and features, it's within the new download from Microsoft. I hope with my limited computer knowledge I did help someone at least giving them a clue. So the bit is Go to Microsoft Store download missing app and everything should be OK. Glad I registered as I often need help.

      Kind Regards
