Update for Windows Live Essentials Mail 2012 (KB3093594) kills WLM 2012

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?

    Go to the command prompt (run from start menu).

    msiexec /package {B775C26B-EAA8-4A11-ACBF-76E52DF6B805} /uninstall {342DCD5D-5946-453B-97AC-D53B7662EDF5}

    After running the command

    Choose repair and follow the steps in the wizard. Once you've done this, Windows Live Mail will be reverted back to the old version without the issues of the update.

    Hi Nigel,  thank you so much!  That did indeed work...

    Do you have a fix for the emails in my sent folder that all say they were sent "to" me, but in fact when you click on the email, it shows the appropriate person to whom the email was sent?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    The same thing has happened to my emails in my sent folder.  They all say they are sent to me; however, when opening the email it was sent to the proper person. 

    This patch is a mess.  How were you able to uninstall the patch?
