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?

    The KB article still doesn't mention Windows 10, but the statement you may find that the program crashes soon after startseems to indicate that the revision addresses the stability problem that Windows 10 users have faced, since this only seemed to happen on Windows 10. I don't have a test rig handy, so I can't find out whether this is the case.

    The updated patch still has the issue that Sent emails show From address instead of To address

    After the updated patch is applied, sent emails don't appear in the Sent box.

    Sorry, it appears that this sent box issue had started happening before I applied the patch, so it hopefully it is a temporary server issue

    Despite the file details in the KB article, the re-issued patch...updates Windows Live Mail 2012 and its program files to version 16.4.3564.0916

    What are the Created and Modified dates of WLMAIL.EXE v16.4.3564.0916 [or possibly v16.4.3564.1216], Noel?
