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?

    I too am suffering the crash when Windows Live Mail (WLM) attempts to synchronise the calendar.

    Currently to work around this I am running WLM without actually signing in to Windows Live. I quickly clicked on my account icon and signed out before the syncing process got to my calendar - I guess you could disable networking to allow more time to do this.

    I think if you review the previous threads you will see that removing and then reinstalling WLM will solve the problem. Don't think it would be a good idea to reinstall the update until Microsoft fixes it. I did this and all is well.

    I tried deleting the calendar folder but still crashed on sign in.
