| 1417154 | 2016-03-08 21:41:00 | I've been battling with a persistent Windows 10 mail error code 0x85050041 since I upgraded from WLM. The error is frequent on starting and mostly can be fixed with a reboot or two. Curiously Windows update is often down apparently in sympathy. Settings>update & security page freezes or immediately closes. I'm suspicious of a connection with Mail but sometimes one will work while other remains down. I've been studying the issue in spare time but nothing has worked so far. Amongst possible fixes I tried SFC /scannow numerous times. I refreshed Windows 10 but still the issue remains. I was hoping updates would fix the problem but they aren't coming fast enough. I wondered if the problem is network related but I don't understand enough to solve it. Any thoughts please. Thanks |

| 1417155 | 2016-03-08 22:19:00 | Three Questions: 1. Was this an upgrade from a previous Install or a Fresh install ( wiping drive and starting with an empty Drive) ? 2. What version of W10 ? to find out, in the search type in winver,select it, it will tell you what version you have.? 3. What version of WLM,, 2011 or 2012 ? |

| 1417156 | 2016-03-08 22:39:00 | Also what mail program are you using now, just the included one with windows 10? You could always just go back to live mail, it works just fine on windows 10. Myself I've abandoned mail clients and just use webmail on the PC and my android phone. |

Myself I've abandoned mail clients and just use webmail on the PC and my android phone. Yes, the one included with 10. I dropped WLM because of its' problems that incidentally started with the upgrade to 10. Re Webmail. Do you mean Outlook.com for example? It also pleases itself whether it logs in. it's erratic. Is there some connection? Both my accounts are Hotmail.com's. I have two email accounts so a client appears to be the best way to monitor both at the same time? |

| 1417159 | 2016-03-08 23:04:00 | I use Gmail so it's their webmail portal I use. It also lets me set up my two yahoo pop3 (xtra) accounts and access them through the same inbox without having to check all 3 separately. I forward them automatically to my Gmail these days though so that's not important. I've never tried outlook.com or Hotmail to know what they are like. If ity sounded like I meant webmail on the phone also I didn't, I use the Samsung provided mail client on the phone |

| 1417160 | 2016-03-08 23:11:00 | Sometimes the upgrades don't always go as they should - theres often little quirks that appear. That build is the latest Public release. The Windows updates have been working fine. The error code means theres a sync problem. Windows updates: if there are some corruptions in the updates you can always rebuild them. To do that you open a cmd in admin and type in the following ( pressing enter after each command) net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits exit Reboot the computer. Sometimes theres also a problem with the other parts of W10. before doing any of the above commands run the following ( pressing enter after each command) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth If it finds anything ( or even if it doesn't), run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth The commands usually appear to stop at 20%, this is normal, just leave it and it will carry on. :IF" it asks for the location then you'll need a copy of W10 either on DVD or USB, then type in : Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:\Sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess Change the drive location Wim:E to what ever drive letter the source is, |

| 1417161 | 2016-03-09 00:03:00 | Yes, the error code is described by Mail as a sync problem. I used that cmd prompt a few months ago to fix Windows update errors. It started working again however the issues described above remained. It's odd that a reboot will most often have it working correctly. Then next start up of the PC can has it playing silly beggers again. Oh yes, the scanheath / restorehealth has been run a number of times. I ran it again just now. No reported errors found. My last clean install was when I bought a SSD but that was before the upgrade to 10. If I do another clean install, I thought I'd follow theses instructions (www.howtogeek.com) Is there any instruction better? I recall there's something in the (M4A78PRO) BIOS I need switch to recognize the SSD Edit: I'm doing the update now. Hopefully the PC will accept it without indigestion. |

| 1417162 | 2016-03-09 00:32:00 | If you do a clean install, I basically boot the computer from a CD ( AOMEI partitonManager) Wipe the drive completely clean boot from what ever media you may have created, DVD or USB and then follow instructions from there. When it asks for a product key, select " I dont have one" Then select the version you originally had, Home or Pro - as long as W10 was previously activated it will pick it up automatically when its on the internet ( before it even finishes installing). The differance being when installing use the customise setup, disbaling all the "send back home" options. What you can try though, and its slightly different to doing a refresh, download the Windows 10 Via the media creation tool, Select make an ISO ( in case you need it later) create a DVD or USB install. With W10 running put in the media - run the setup, this is similar to doing a refresh BUT better, select keep data - Done this 3 times in the last week on Previous W10's as the inbuilt refresh sometimes doesn't work as well - use the defaults and it is the saem as a repair install. Once done, manually run updates again. OFF TOPIC- but funny, just done 2 W10 upgrades, one looked like it was giving problems :( Damn mouse was jumping all over -- Dhurrrrrrr a small moth walking on the touch screen was enough to activate the screen causing all sorts of problems LOL :) |

| 1417163 | 2016-03-09 00:33:00 | The update worked fine. The machine booted perfectly and both Mail and Windows update are doing what they're supposed to. The thought occurred that it's cold booting that generates the error/s?? Could there be something to the thought? |
