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. 

    Apparently you are having multiple problems.  At least one has been fixed.  Unfortunately, I'm a long way from being a techy, so I some soul far more knowledgeable than I will have to help you with the rest.  Sorry.  Wish could offer more.

    Thanks Louie,

    I got up to step 3, but under "Microsoft" there is no "Windows Live Mail" option. There is a "Windows Mail Setup". What is best course of action in this case? Do i Create the DWORD entries under the mail setup folder? How do i get the "Windows Live Mail" option back? Perhaps I need to uninstall and reinstall? Please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    S

    Windows 10 Mail will not sync.  My mail is there when I start the program but then all the mail disappears and hangs.

    This seemed to happen after the 20H2 update to Windows 10.   Come on Microsoft fix this issue now.  This is very frustrating.

    Any solutions as the previous solutions do not work.
