Php sendmail and windows 10

Since upgrading to windows 10 my xampp send is not working
NOTHING has changed in my php.inI or sendmail.in configuration files
The sendmail was working in windows 7 pro
Using sendmail from my php pages gives no error- just no sent email
Firewall is allowing sendmail
All relevant ports allowed
Tried localhost and external smtp servers
Credentials are fine
Configuration files checked and rechecked
I can ping external smtp server I am using
I can telnet to it
Outlook emails sending ok
Internal Websites such as wordpress can send using phpmail
It is just the sendmail which does not work
It is now urgent I get this to work
I have also tried the original xampp configuration on a windows 7 pro VM on my windowd 10 machine
Same issue
Could IIS be causing issues?

"operating system  : Windows 7 Tablet PC x64 build 7600"

Yes - I noticed this to
Absolutely no idea why this is displaying windows 7 tablet as it is a windows 10 laptop
Apparently this is not an issue - just a legacy from upgrading to windows 10
I just successfully sent an email from Wordpress on my xampp computer (where my php websites are and sendmail pages) using PHPMailer and the same server details as I am using in sendmail.exe / sendmail.ini

Does this indicate where the issue is ?
Sorry - correction

Wordpress sends using the SMTP option but NOT the PHP Mail option

Can one just install over the top of an existing xampp install?
In tyhe meantime I have manageg to get phpmailer to work - I suppose I will have to adjust my current scripts to use this
