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!

    I have tried this several times and after the program supposedly runs I get the message that I have no internet connection. I then open up my internet home page and I do indeed have internet connection. What is the deal?

    The error message that I am getting to cause me to run this Windows Live Mail fix is that I have an error connecting with the Windows Live Mail Calendar.

    Hi All,

    Same problem W10, advice from the Outlook email to install the KB update.

    Mine had the same issues as the other's. Uninstalling Win Live Mail and re installing made no improvement.

    From reading these post's, for Win 10, I seem to resolved my crashing, and forced close, by going from the Mail page down to the bottom left to the where it has icons for Mail, Calendar, Feeds and selecting Calendar.

    Once on the Calendar page, about the middle left under in my case MSN.COM (my email acct type) there are 3 ticked boxes, untick the one for Calendar which synchronizes the Calendar with the email's.

    I then restarted the PC and W L Mail  & Calendar worked again separately,  but no more crash and close of the WLM.

    Rob.

    This fix caused Windows Live Mail to bomb.  I had to reinstall the problem to get it working again, with the Outlook.com error, of course.
