If you're currently using Windows Live Mail on Windows 10 and you install this patch, Live Mail stops working. (Or, golly, was it merely an oversight?) Many people read this phrase "If you use Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, we recommend that you switch to the built in Mail app in Windows" as saying, "If you use WLM on Win 8, 8.1, or 10, you need to install this patch."

Thanks for your understanding and continued use.Īlthough it looks like a phishing message, the message is, in fact, from Microsoft. We suggest saving this email so you can refer to it later.

The patch crashes many systems in many different ways, with the Calendar app taking particular credit. The sign-up message looks exactly like malware.
Friday afternoon I started hearing about a mysterious message from Microsoft that warned Windows Live Mail users their systems wouldn't work "in a few weeks." They were exhorted to download and install a patch - there's a link to KB 3093594 - or upgrade to Windows 10 and use the new Universal Mail app (which is almost universally panned).
