I got following error message while I log in to my windows account and only my account.

I tried to set Windows Live ID sign-In Assistant to manual start in Windows Services. it only works one time, once I start using Windows Live mail and log out and log back in then I get error messaged again. I tried to msconfig and uncheck Windows Live IS Sign-In that I do not see error message, but  Windows Live Mail cannot launch,

I use Windows 7 Home Premium version.

It looks like that it has something with Windows Live mail,

Your help and information is great appreciated,

Regards,

Souris,

Here is error message,

There was a problem that caused parts of the Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled. You might not be able to sign in to Windows Live in some programs. The problem may have been caused by a program that was recently installed. For more information, please go to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689

    Hi All,

    Same issue since a two days now. I didn't install any software, but let Windows Update do its routine which only applied a Windows Defender update.  I went through all the posts of this hread (and found many unresolved complaints elsewhere -- just google it to be overwhelmed). I have Windows Essentials 2012 installed.

    I tried the "Automatic but delayed" start option for the LiveID Assistant Service but that didn't survive a reboot.

    I don't have Skype-to-clic or Lync-to-clic add-ons in Internet Explorer so that workaround didn't apply to me either.

    Workaround: I just tried now the "Manual" start option for the LiveID Assistant Service, and so far that does work -- no nasty pop-up at each login any more (which was affecting all accounts on the computer).  I just checked again the Services and it appears Started (with status type luckily still being Manual)... but don't ask me what started it.

    Should I be bothered again, I'll definitely kick Windows Essentials away from my computer -- I hope it won't remove Windows Defender.  I'm using OneDrive though (I think it belongs to the Essentials now) but as I don't sync automatically, I don't think I need its Essentials component, if any.

    Cheers !

    Considering the dozens if not hundreds of people experiencing the same problem and discussed on countless blogs and web sites, I'm wondering when MS is coming gout with a fix.

    I've tried all the recommended fixes and even uninstalled and reinstalled (with all the manual steps) outlined far earlier in this thread.

    I ONLY have Windows Live Movie Maker installed.  None of the other options. 

    I get this error every reboot.

    Thanks for the repair suggestion.  I went to control panel as well to find I had live essential 2011.  Right click did not provide a repair option.  I went to Microsoft.com for an update to find a download for live essentials 2012.  After download, the installation automatically took care of replacing 2011.  I no longer have the live ID sign in problem.
