Windows Live Mail and Calendars

Windows 10

Started today 11/20/2015 whenever I access Windows Live Mail (2012)  I get an error message 'There was an error when attempting to connect to the Windows Live Calendar service, check to see if there's an upgrade of Windows Live Mail available or contact a service representative.  I saw a reply for this problem dated 12/2014 but it did not address this problem in Win 10.  Please advise.  The PC was a Win 8.1 before the upgrade. 

Thank you!

    Hotfix KB3093594 has been re-released on 12/17/2015. So you may now install the new d-Mail.msp. The calendar synchronization issue is solved and Live Mail 2012 doesn't crash any longer.

    Thanks Alexander.

    A quick google produces this InfoWorld Woody Leonhard which suggests that the fix only resolves the crash and doesn't make the calendar work. Also, the article still shows the supported platforms as windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Thinking I'll hold off for now as I'm on WIndows 10.

    Unfortunately MS has not yet replied themselves with a total fix. Their server side issues persist, and some email accounts are not updating properly, or updating at all. Maybe someday MS will actually reply and respond to these issues.
