Thunderbird freezes with Windows 10 update 8/7/2016

Wayne Mery replied

Microsoft Widows 10 had an update 8/2016 and I updated and nor Thunderbird freezes up as soon as it is opened. The only way to close it is with task manager. I tries safe mode for Thunderbird and disabled the add-ons but it still freezes up. I tried uninstalling Thunderbird but still the same thing happens.

Thanks,

Gary
