Fix Missing Contacts in People Hub in Windows 10

Some users are reporting issues with the People Hub app in Windows 10. Along with My People, the app provides a useful way to store and work with your email addresses, phone numbers and other contact information.

For a number of users, contacts just disappear from the People Hub app. Here is a post from Reddit which describes the situation.

I went to bed last night with all my contacts. When I woke up I only had 4. I haven’t done anything different with my phone lately so they just disappeared overnight.
My Calendar was completely blank too. Doing the Synchronize option doesn’t fix anything. When I log onto the web I can see all my contacts, emails, and calendar events.
After 3 hours of trying to figure out what was wrong everything just magically came back. Go figure…
I talked to my dad he had issues with his Microsoft account on his phone this morning too.

So, if your contacts are missing, you need to force a sync. Due to some back-end issue, the address book may not have reached your PC.

To fix the issue, do the following.

  1. Go to the app's settings.
  2. Right-click on your account and click Synchronise as shown below:People Hub Sync

This is a temporary solution. The main fix should be done on the server side by developers to resolve the issue completely.
