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!

    Hi Louie_101

     Thank you so very much for posting very clear instructions to fix the windows live mail problem.   It worked immediately - no frustration no tears.    

    I have avoided finding the fix for this annoyance for about 2 months ( by using my iPad to receive and send emails) because I am a Luddite.

    You can’t believe how happy I am to have successfully got this completed today.....all thanks to your stellar advice.

    ❤️❤️❤️

    A more confident Luddite
