Hi All,

For Windows 10 users, I can confirm removing KB3093266 which just came down will fix Windows Live Messenger 2012 again. The cumulative update includes a Skype update which seems to break WLM.

Once you are back online you should take advantage of the Microsoft too to Hide Updates for Windows 10.
This is available from here Windows Update: FAQ - Microsoft Support

Happy days and long live messenger.

The latest Reviver should fix this and you won’t have to uninstall or hide the update.

I tried with 2.4.5 and it did not work.
Had to remove that Update.

Which 2.4.5? The fix is in 2.4.5.4 and above but not 2.4.5.3.
