WLM12 always re-installs on opening.
I was previously using WLM 11 without problems on my old (2009) HP Pavilion desktop (Win 7 Home Premium 32, 3GB RAM) but a recent upgrade to WLM 12 (Version 2012 Build 16.4.3528.0331) has left the mail system operational except that whenever I come to reopen mail after having previously closed it, it appears to proceed to reinstall WLM completely and in the process it refreshes the desktop no fewer than four times.
The various steps it takes are:
Message saying 'Starting'
Preparing to Install
Request to wait while WLM is configured
Message saying 'Starting'
Message saying 'Gathering information'
It then finally becomes operational as a mail package (and indeed the filtering of Spam seems better than before) and so I have used it for some time now in this state but it is really irritating to have to wait more than two minutes every time I re-open WLM. I have read on the Internet - though not on this forum - that renewing the IconCache.db file sorts this but I have tried this and in my case it does not have any effect.
I see on this forum that there are some known update issues with some installations of WLM. Is my problem likely to be one such that may eventually be sorted by Microsoft or is this different and there is already a known fix that a 'mere mortal' in IT like me might be expected to be able to implement? Help would be much appreciated. I don't think that I can now roll back to a previous working version.
