I am experiencing this problem after upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 on 11th August, 2015 .
On double clicking on the windows live mail, the app opens up and then it shows in progress cycle continuously . After waiting for 25 minutes or so , on opening the task manager, the status message is ' not responding '
In one of the help forums the following trouble shooting procedure was mentioned :
1. Press Windows + R keys. Type in appwiz.cpl in the box.
2. Right click on the program windows live essentials and select ' uninstall / change'
3. Click on ' repair all windows live programs '
I followed the above procedure , till i got the message repairs complete .
I retried to open windows live mail without rebooting the computer , it did not help.
So I repeated steps 1 to3 above , rebooted the computer and then tried to reopen windows live mail . There was no change in status .
The problem continues . I look forward to some assistance on resolving this problem .
Thanks and regards . .
Same problem. Tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of WLM, not improvement.
