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

Anonymous

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?

    Files are 16.4.3564.1216.

    The new update did fix the stability problem on Windows 10.

    Thank you, Ron.

    Emails sent using WLM on Windows 10 don't appear in Sent items, but do appear in the outlook.com Sent folder.

    Guess MS really wants Win10 users to access Outlook.com/MSN/Hotmail/Live.com accounts via Win10's Mail app instead of good ol' WLMail, eh?
