Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail - Stopped Syncing After Windows Update Around March 17, 2023

I am using an older HP PC, with Windows 10 installed. It performed an automatic update around March 17, and after that date Mail will no longer synch, and I am unable to send or receive emails.I have looked online for a remedy, and it appears that some other Windows 10 users with older machines are experiencing the same issue. I uninstalled the last Windows update, with no change in outcome. As well, checked firewall settings, etc. Everything appears to be in order.I had made NO changes to my computer settings. One minute Mail worked properly, the next it didn't. I have a newer Surface tablet

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
