    Thanks for responses - I have switched off MBAM live scanning, we'll see what that brings.

    The suggested thread post:
    windows live mail error 0x80041161 - Microsoft Community
    by Chestnutt offered hope; but after finding and running the utility "wlarp.exe" and turning off MBAM live scanning The same error displays.

    What I cannot be sure of is which wlmail.exe to be running. Where are the installed application files and DLL's and stuff? I may be always running a bad copy of the executable.

    Thank you.

    But, I am very unsure

    muymalestado: your mail and contacts are probably intact. Updates and reinstalls do not affect user data.
    After you answer questions I asked in Post# 7 it will be easier to devise a plan
    You might want to download the offline install, but don't do anything with it - just download it for now

    muymalestrado: While we wait to see if Rode wants to drive, please make a backup of your user data. Always a good thing to do before changes. Post when you have completed the backup

    Please provide answers to question in post# 7.

    Thanks

    Sorry - shouldn't expect me to do two things at once; what, with only one brain. Ah, but four cores so I should be able to handle it.

    #7: This was update from 2011 as I recall. And the advice was to uninstall then reinstall. So I am reinstalling and receiving the same 80041161 error message.

    Ok, thanks

    When you say you are reinstalling, did you use the offline install? I'm assuming yes, but better to check, than waste your time chasing somethiing else.

    I used the web-install, but have now downloaded the wlsetup-all.exe here. Not done anything with it.

    Ok, sorry to tell you this, but....

    Completely uninstall Windows Essentails (WE) through Control Panel -> Progams and Features

    Restart the machine (probably not necessary, but since you're having WE issues, go ahead and restart)

    Install WE using wlsetup-all.exe

    and we shall see on your next post if you have a working WE
