Windows 10: Windows 10 mail crashes when trying to attach a file.

My windows 10 pre-installed with Lenivo Yoga laptop came with Mail app pee installed. Whenever i try to attach an excel or word file to my mail the app freezes and i have to force quit the app. This ruins an otherwise excellent app.


I have tried reinstalling the mail and calander all using YouTube videos and have reset the app, but to no avail.

Hi Mikalbe,

Please answer these questions to assist you better.

• How are you accessing mail e.g. Mail app or Outlook?
• Is the issue with a particular format of attachments?

I suggest you to try attaching a different format of file and check if you are able to attach file and send mail. Also install all pending Windows updates and check. If the issue still persists follow the steps below.

App Troubleshooter

I suggest you to run app troubleshooter for issues related to edge and check if it helps.

Attach a file in a new email in Windows 10 Mail.

Is there no other way to attach a file in a new email in Windows 10 Mail other than from listed in the "Insert" folder in Windows 10 Mail when composing a new email? "Mail" is not one of the files listed in the "Insert" folder. The file I want
to attach is from a deleted email.
