A little help needed with Windows Live Mail

[Dave Richardson]

Hello,

Could someone help please ?

I've been using Windows 10 & Windows Live Mail (just the E mail) for some while now without problem however, recently each morning when switching on the PC. There is an error message 0x800CCC90;

I've googled it & tried many ways to sort it but nothing has worked so far

I've removed the program & re installed no joy.

I have found that if I go to remove the program but tick the repair option then Windows Live works for the day, but then next day same problem.

Any idea's would be most welcome.

David

Thank you Dec,

No it didn't work, I;ve found that if I try to uninstall that if I choose to repair the windows mail it'll work for a day & then the following day the message 0x800CCC90 appears again, &the whole process starts again.

Anyone ?????????????

If all else fails, personally I wouldn't waste any more time on it.

Download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, create yourself a DVD from the ISO, copy all the Desktop/Documents/Pictures/Videos to a USB flash drive or USB hard drive (you should have a backup of data anyway) and then re-install Windows 10 from scratch (wipe and clean install).

I've seen plenty of stupid issues on machines upgraded to 10 but none on those installed after a clean install.

Whilst I don't believe 10 freshly installed will have no issues, I am certain you will have less problems with it after and it just goes to confirm my suspicions that an upgrade is still not as good as a fresh install, despite being 25 years on from Windows 95, when upgrading from DOS and Windows to it was also rubbish!
