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!

    The fix only worked for new e-mail,   It did not work for old e-mail I had prior to the fix.

    Can you please help?

    I followed the instructions but it does not work for me. My email is there but I cannot open them. 

    I even used ADD/REMOVE rebooted and reinstalled and my mail was still there and cannot open. I cannot even get a clean start for WLM.

    Hi Dave2828 - My problem appears to have been different from yours.  In my case, WLM was unable to send or receive messages, but was otherwise functioning properly.  I followed the instructions posted by Louis and Mke and, after two of struggling, my WLM is again fully functional.  I don't know it will fix the problem you're having, but you should the posts from Louis and Mke of the previous page.  Good luck.
