Windows Live Mail stopped working after last Windows 10 update

Since the last update of Windows 10, when I open Windows Live Mail every message produces "Message cannot be displayed." I tried running the "repair" utility, but nothing changed. Is this a widespread issue? I really liked Live Mail and had a lot of messages saved that I can no longer access. HELP!

    All I can suggest is are you sure you entered EXACTLY what was shown in the suggested fix and that you entered the DWORDs in the correct place? The fix worked for me and many others.

    Hi Louie.  

    Thanks for the suggestions. 

    I followed your instructions and it does work some. 

    It had quit working all together. 

    Now Windows live mail will open. It downloads the email but it does not populate those messages. 

    Any ideas? 

    Thanks, --Jim

    I didn't post the original fix, only the message that helped low-tech people find their way to the right place to type the Dwords. But, no, you must type EVERYTHING listed in the original fix posting. Then it will work.

    Done the above but not sure how to do it correctly.

    you indicate to type the three terms but I assume you mean without the word "recreate"?

    Jus t type     Folder      Stream      UIDL                  is this correct?

    And place the index number          "1"         for the Dword as decimal "1"?????

    Thanks
