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!

    Frankly, I give up. Microsoft should be able to make their updates compatible with their own software, don't you think? Does anyone know how to stop getting notifications that my question has an answer? I am sick of getting useless emails.

    Most likely it happened because Windows Live Mail is an UNSUPPORTED program since June 30 2016!!!  All of us, myself included, who are using this program are taking a BIG RISK that none of Microsoft's frequent updates will break this program.  That apparently is what's happened here.

    this actually worked for me but why did this happen in the first place? I mean there are probably thousands if not millions of Windows users that won't be able to find & fix this so again why does this happen in a MS update?

    After the windows 10 update windows live mail stopped showing the body of my older e mail messages, I did add the three dword entries to the registry and if fixed the problem of sending and receiving mail.

    MikeBrecher, I agree with your reply 1000%. I'd bet paulkindiak messed up one of the two.
