Windows 10: Windows 10, 1903 - 0x8007042b error

I've tried to update to 1903 several times, but the update fails every time. It gets to around 90%, and then the changes are reverted back to 1803. I've tried the Update Troubleshooter, System File Checker, Chkdsk, removing Anti-Virus software, and also updating manually using the Windows Update Assistant. I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad U410.

error 0x8007042b when adding a Yahoo Mail account to MS Mail App

I went this route and added passwords for yahoo mail. I might try this method above to get gmail to buck up! *Tongue

@Bastet, this is probably what you were referring to the whole time.


YAHOO MAIL FIX
2FA needs to be enabled which it already was and just follow these steps below.

1. In yahoo mails account security, click on manage app passwords.




2. After selecting other app and entering the new app name in the text box




3. Now, in Windows 10 mail app, add this type of account.




4. In Windows 10 mail app, enter your details and the password generated by step 2.




Fully functional mail app again.



GMAIL FIX

Now similar steps to setting up Gmail. Here I'll only go through the Gmail steps as Windows Mail App setup is the exact same.

Follow this jpeg below, all steps are merged as there's a 5 attachment limit.

I've edited it to show the solution for Gmail also.

Yes, once 2-factor authentication is enabled you should then create the app specific password & enter it instead of the account password.

 

error 0x8007042b when adding a Yahoo Mail account to MS Mail App

When using the mail app in:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362

I'm getting the error code:
error 0x8007042b

I've disabled anti-virus but that didn't work.

What I'm trying to do is:

1. Go to the settings (the cog wheel in the app)
2. Manage accounts
3. + add account
4. and choose Yahoo
5. this gives the error: error 0x8007042b

I've 4 other mail accounts so resetting the app I haven't tried. Any other way around this issue?
