Hello,
The better half has a Lumia 625 it was working fine until the win 8.1 upgrade when her calendar stopped working. She uninstalled it thinking she could just reload it from the store, but it does not seem to be in the store.
She has been using our shared family room calendar but that always seems to be a day out on her phone and does not refresh on the lock screen.
Anyone know how we can get the correct one loaded again?

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm? You can't uninstall Calendar. Are you sure it's not in the app list?

Well the calendar icon is in the app list, it just does nothing when you click on it. Sorry she just said she did not actually uninstall it but removed it from the start menu.
Before she removed it from the start menu it did update correctly from the shared family room calendar, but she could not actually open the calendar.

Do a full reset and reload, normally worth doing after such a big update anyway. Settings>About>reset your phone. Back up everything first though.




Try Vultr using this link and get us both some credit:

For the reset, what will we have to reload (everything says it is backed up) will we need to redo the email settings...just checking what passwords we will have to find.
Thanks.

Thanks for the link, trouble is when looking at it on the phone I can see that app but the install option is missing.

You can open on your browser and click the INSTALL button - it should push the install to your phone.

If you go down the reset route, all your settings and email setups are saved, you'll just need to re enter the passwords for each account.

Once you've connected to WiFi during the setup process and entered your Microsoft account details you'll be prompted to restore a backup.

Yes I tried that, it came up with an error and wouldn't complete the download. I'm trying the reset method at the moment, hopefully I'll find all the required passwords.??
