Question asked on Sep 28, 2016

I have had problems with my Windows Mail since the Anniversary Update installed a few days ago.  After trying several reboots, I clicked on the mail icon and it still opened in IE 11, version 11.187.14393.0 and tells me it's an unsupported browser.  I used a fix on my computer (advised on this community) to reset my Windows Mail.  I did, then rebooted, and I now have no Windows Mail program, just Live Mail, which I believe is no longer used (or SHOULD I be using that instead?  Will it sync with other devices?).  I still would like to use the simple Windows Mail that I use that syncs on all my Win. 10 devices.   I tried to download Microsoft Mail and Calendar (I don't have my calendar now either) and the store tells me it's already installed---again, it tries to open in the "unsupported" IE browser.  It will not open in Edge or Chrome.

I do not want to use IE at all--my default (and preferred_ browser is Chrome, latest version.  I use Norton Security as my virus protection.

Hopefully you can help?
