Can't select windows mail options for sync

Frustrating!

If you're unable to select Windows Mail options for sync, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check your account settings: Ensure that your Windows Mail account is properly set up and configured. Go to Settings > Accounts > Manage accounts, and check that your account is listed and enabled.
  2. Update Windows Mail: Make sure you're running the latest version of Windows Mail. You can check for updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
  3. Disable and re-enable sync: Try disabling sync for your Windows Mail account, then re-enable it. To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Manage accounts, select your account, and toggle off the "Sync" switch. Wait a few seconds, then toggle it back on.
  4. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you're using other email clients or apps that sync with your email account, try closing or uninstalling them temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
  5. Reset Windows Mail settings: You can try resetting Windows Mail settings to their default values. To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Manage accounts, select your account, and click "Reset" at the bottom of the page.
  6. Check for corrupted files: Corrupted files can sometimes cause issues with Windows Mail. Try running the built-in Windows troubleshooter to detect and fix any corrupted files. To do this, go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot, and select "Windows Mail" from the list of available troubleshooters.
  7. Re-register Windows Mail: You can try re-registering Windows Mail by running the following command in the Command Prompt as an administrator:
    netsh winhttp reset
  8. Check for Windows updates: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date, as updates often include fixes for known issues.
  9. Try a different sync method: If you're using a third-party sync app, try using the built-in Windows Mail sync feature instead.
  10. Reset your Windows Mail account: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Windows Mail account by going to Settings > Accounts > Manage accounts, selecting your account, and clicking "Reset" at the bottom of the page.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to try seeking further assistance from Microsoft Support or a Windows forum.
