I have been using the windows live writer for years and today it wont let me post into my blogger blog. 

The first error was stating that my user name and password was incorrect so I changed it. It still didn't work and still stating the same issue. I clean/repaired up the windows essentials like other forms said. Now the error message I get is blogger return the following error: Notfound: not found. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps saying the same issue.

Thanks.

please make sure that you use the following steps

  1. Verify you are using http or https for you website.
  2. Add ' @gmail.com ' at the end of your user name.
  3. If your account has 2-step verification enabled then see the following guide to use app specific password rather than your original password.

    Hi,

    To address your concern, we suggest that you uninstall and then reinstall the Windows Essentials and check if the issue persists. You may download Windows Essentials by clicking this link.

    Update us with the result.

    Thank you.

    I was still able to use it last October with no problems. 

    Even the windows store OLW has the same error. I've done an uninstall and removed the registry keys too.

    For some reason, I also can't use windows live writer and all of the windows essentials programs.

    which ver of OLW are you using?

    Uninstall the earlier ver of Windows Live Writer. Also uninstall Open Live Writer if its earlier build and install the latest build 0.6.0.0 of Windows Live Writer from here http://openlivewriter.org/

    If this doesnt work then as suggested please raise the issue on the given github link.
