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?

    That's the thing, though. It WAS a valid Microsoft patch. I for one would really like to know the story behind the release of that email, the one that horribly described who or what needed to apply it. It certainly didn't do anything to help curb the desire that some people have to continue gutting the built-in systems that are actually there to help protect and keep their OS up-to-date. They're now more apt to continue shutting down and hacking things to keep from getting what they perceive to be bad updates from Microsoft. Ironic then that the very things that they meant to help protect us will only end up driving people to make drastic changes to their system that will only eventually end up biting them in the end...

    I can't find anywhere in the Start menu to "run" the command prompt.  I'm on Windows 10. Can anyone tell me how to find  where in the Start menu I can find the place to run a command prompt?

    Right-click the Start button. There you will see the option for a Command Prompt (Admin). That's the one you need to run. :)

    PS: Then Right-Click anywhere on the title bar and select Edit>Paste to paste the long command string.

    Just some additional tips:

    You can use Cortana to find programs. Just start typing in her search box and keep an eye out for things she finds while you type. And to run things as an Administrator, just right-click on any item and select "Run as administrator".

    You can right-click on pretty much anything - in the Start Menu or Taskbar... You'll find that you have many options to help speed you on your way. My favorite is seeing what files you've opened recently with a program. Very handy. :)
