Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled

"Uninstall windows live essentials."

Thank you for your suggestion Richard.BXL.

This afternoon I ran a repair of "Windows Live Essentials" and used the "tweaking.com" ("all in one windows repair") software to make some additional repairs and the pop-up seems to have gone away. (I did a number of restarts and the error did no appear again.) If it does, I will uninstall live essentials.

But perhaps it's time to uninstall windows and Microsoft and move to Linux. I have had enough of these silly problems and lack of support from Microsoft. MS support is now as bad as that provided by Cyberlink. We send log after log after log of information and nothing happens. It's called getting the run-around. They want us to go away.

As a long time user of MS OS even before it was called windows - remember DOS - I was willing to stick with windows as long as I could dual boot windows and Linux on the same machine. It is rumored that Windows 10 is not likely to support dual boot; if true, it will not be possible to run both windows and Linux on the same machine. If that happens, I might just move to Linux and put an end to this insanity.

Best Regards.

Well, as the script of an old horror movie goes, "they're back." I think it is time to ditch "windows live [un]essentials." Stay tuned.

By the way, I ran the "Microsoft Fix it 50931" (which is supposed fix this problem) but it died before it installed. The error message is "Service 'msoidsvc [msoidsvc] failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Well I do and can start system service!!! Dang you! Stay tuned.

Hello all, I was misinformed to use Microsoft Fix it 50931 (which probably explains why it would not install) - the fix is for "Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant to be disabled" and not for "Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled." Thus far I haven't been able to find a "fix" for "Windows Live ID ..."

I will keep looking before I uninstall Windows Live Essentials.

I have been getting this same error every time I turn on my computer (started about a week ago)  No new programs were installed.  The only installations would have been Microsoft updates.  Surely Microsoft should be able to recommend a simple solution to their own problems.  I never use Windows Live Mail and this error message is most annoying especially since the link mentioned in it doesn't exist.  Please get your act together and update your error messages and fix the problem.
