Cannot conntect to Windows Live Mail automatically (Am always asked to Sign In)

Windows 10, Dell Inspiron 15.
Windows Live Mail 2012.

When I click on the Windows Live Mail  icon I get a box asking me to SIGN IN.
I sign in  correctly with my Microsoft email and password. The box disappears and I can view my email etc.
However I cannot stop this box from appearing every time I open up Windows Live Mail.
Every time I am asked for my password. I have clicked the option: ‘remember me and sign me in automatically’ . But it makes no difference. Why am I continually asked to Sign In?
I enclose a screenshot of the Sign In Box which won’t go automatic
(One peculiar thing, which may have a bearing: I notice that If I don’t sign in  and simply chose the cancel option the Box disappears and find  I can use the program without any problem, just as if I had signed in).

Windows Live Mail is being discontinued if we are talking about the same thing.

That may be why authentication is changing.

I use Outlook instead.
