Have been using this program for months now on windows 10 32 bit, and I get an email saying that MS are making changes to Outlook servers and to patch WLM 2012 and a download link.
I applied the patch and now after a few seconds of being open WLM 2012 crashes while updating the calendar.
Anyone know a fix for this? I have taken the patch off by repairing Windows essentials 2012 from the Programs and features dialog, but anyone know why this patch causes WLM to crash after a few seconds?

I am always signed in when I use windows live mail and my entries are always synchronized with calendar.live.com.
Thank you. What happens if you follow the Sign out - Sign in routine I described?
I get 'Your calendar has been updated', but still no calendar entries.
Is your calendar intact at calendar.live.com? Called Outlook Calendar (Preview)?
Yes, my calendar is intact at calendar.live.com, no change there. Where is outlook calendar preview?

What confidence have I got that if I install the KB in the magical "few weeks" I won't experience the disabling impact on WLM that others have reported in this forum thread?
Users whose Microsoft Email accounts are upgraded to Outlook Mail will no longer be able to synchronize mail, contacts and calendar using DeltaSync, because upgraded accounts are not provisioned for it.
With that one exception, there is no change.
Users of Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 can install KB3093594 to enable upgraded accounts to synchronize mail, contacts and calendar using EAS instead of DeltaSync.
Users of Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 10 should not install KB3093594 until it has been updated to add full support for Windows 10, unless they never sign in with a Microsoft Account that has been upgraded to Outlook Mail.
There are hundreds of millions of Microsoft Email accounts to be upgraded to Outlook Mail. The process started in May 2015 and will continue for some weeks to come. Users can tell whether their account has been upgraded or not by signing in with it at mail.live.com:
Windows 7 64 bit. After installing the patch, I lost all entries in calendar of live mail ... I could not sync it with my outlook account either ...
The calendar you see when you're not signed in is the default calendar. If you're used to being signed in, then the default calendar will probably be empty. Is this what you saw when you wrote I lost all entries?
When you sign in, the account calendar should load and synchronize with the one at calendar.live.com. If it doesn't, there will usually be an error message; otherwise the status message will read Your calendar has been updated. Bearing in mind the number of synchronizations going on these days, it may take several sync cycles before it's successful.
The simplest way to force a sync is to use the right-most button on the Home tab of the ribbon to Sign out of Windows Live Mail, wait a few moments for the default calendar to load fully, then use the same button again to Sign in.
I am always signed in when I use windows live mail and my entries are always synchronized with calendar.live.com. They used to anyway. When I push the 'update all' button , live mail reads e-mail first and then synchronizes the calendar - still signed in. No error messages at the end, I get 'Your calendar has been updated', but still no calendar entries. On the other hand, my mail seems to work fine. I also tried to sign out, wait, sign in, got 'Your calendar has been updated' , still no entries.
Would you please confirm that I do not need to install KB3093594 and that my outlook.com account will continue to sync in WLM2012 after the changes that you are to make "in a few weeks"?
Do not install KB3093594 now.
Your account will stop working in WLM2012 when the changes are made in a few weeks.
You will have to install KB3093594 at that time.
Ron,
My confusion / bewilderment deepens !!
Your advice to NOT install the KB NOW but to install when account ceases to work in WLM "in a few weeks" appears to contradict your 12th Dec advice :-
" No Outlook Mail (Preview) accounts - do not install KB3093594."
That is my situation so,why the change of advice? Is the KB being updated behind the scenes?
What confidence have I got that if I install the KB in the magical "few weeks" I won't experience the disabling impact on WLM that others have reported in this forum thread?
I believe that Microsoft should withdraw the 11th Dec email and issue new clear, concise instructions to steer non geeks safely and simply through the transition. This is not a moment of glory for Microsoft.
