Windows Live Mail (WLM) will not allow an attachment to be deleted when WLM is the email browser for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

I have tested this on 5 different computers all using WLM as the email browser.

  1. PC upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10

  2. 2 PC’s with Windows 8.1

  3. 2 PC’s with Windows 7

The two PC’s with Windows 7 allow attachments in WLM to be deleted.

The PC upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 will no longer allow WLM attachments to be deleted. Before upgrading to Windows 10, attachments could be deleted.

The two PC’s with Windows 8.1 will not allow attachments to be deleted in WLM.

 When you try to delete a WLM attachment in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, the screen goes pale and freezes. WLM then has to be closed and re-opened.

I contacted Microsoft Support and was given the answer that Windows Live Mail is not a supported program and that I should switch to Microsoft Outlook.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
