The next screen displays icons for each Windows Live program currently installed on your PC. In many cases, you'll find that it fixes your issue - and spares you from having to reinstall everything afterwards! If you don't see that button, it may be that you are running an older version of the Windows Live suite (what version of Windows Live Mail do I have?) Select the apps to uninstall Important: if you're uninstalling Windows Live Mail to troubleshoot a problem, don't proceed until you've tried the " Repair all Windows Essentials programs" function. The " Uninstall or repair Windows Essentials programs" popup will give you two choices: either repair Windows Live Mail and other apps in the suite (something we used in our " Error 0x80041161" tutorial - when the program can't even start!) In our case, we'll click on the " Remove one or more Windows Essentials programs" button instead: Optionally try to repair first If you are using Windows logged in as an admin user ( not a good idea), click on the " Yes" or " Confirm" button to continue: Enter an administrator's password to proceed.
Right-click on the program name and choose " Uninstall/Change" from the context menu. If you still have the old version, this would read " Windows Live Essentials 2011". If you have the latest version, find the " Windows Essentials 2012" entry in the list. These are just example, but the process is the same for any email program recognized as such by the operating system. Here are tutorials that show you how to do just that: change default programs in Windows Vista set Microsoft Outlook as default email in Windows 7 or set Mozilla Thunderbird as default email program in Windows 7. Tip: if you're just trying to remove Windows Live Mail as default program, no need to uninstall it.
They are normally sorted by name, which makes them easy to find if that's not the case, click on the " Name" column to sort them alphabetically. In Windows 7, Windows 10, and Vista, you can do that straight from the start menu, no need to open the Control Panel first. In Windows 8, type " control panel" on the start screen, and search for " uninstall" in the search box in the top right corner of the window. ( Careful: depending on the number of apps installed, Windows may keep adding new results under " Programs", which may lead you to click on the wrong uninstaller!) The correct uninstall link in the results will open a listing of all applications currently installed on your computer, inside a Control Panel window. Open the start menu, and type " Uninstall" in the search field then, click on the first link displayed under Control Panel, labeled " Uninstall a program". Completely remove Windows Live Mail from your PC
