Windows Live Mail stopped working after last Windows 10 update

Anonymous

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!

Hi Mike

Thanks for posting the explanation. I am not very computer savy at all but I got this to work now, having originally typed in the =1.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help us out.

best regards

Sadly, this didn't work for me in Dec 2020.

How do you create them. I did the search but they weren't there

HI MJoy94 - If you go to Page 7 of this discussion, you'll find my (RBrown51) post from December 8th and immediately after it the reply from MikeBrecher. My post includes the instructions from Louis, and Mike's reply filled in the blanks, so to speak. I don't recall the specific steps, but between the two of them I was able to restore WLM and have since been a very happy and grateful camper.

When I get to this step:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows Live Mail

I cannot see 'Windows Live Mail' there - what do I do?
