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!

I thought it helped to change the 0 to 1 but it crashed again.

My Windows Live Mail has started crashing and when I open it back, it has a lot of blank emails that I previous viewed and deleted.

I just spent 2 days trying to fix windows live mail after the last stinking windows update. Hate Them. I sorted through all the instructions here and found some of the steps difficult to understand. Reading many postings I came up with my modified instructions THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!

1. click Windows Key + R (to open run)

2. in the run type and enter: REGEDIT

3. Go to Computer >

HKEY_CURRENT_USER >

SOFTWARE >

Microsoft >

Windows Live Mail

4. Create these 3 DWORD by right clicking in the field with all the files and new DWORD

NAME THEM

RecreateFolderIndex

RecreateStreamIndex

RecreateUIDLIndex

then after creating them click on each one and change value from 0 to 1 and click okay

5. Restart Windows Live Mail.
