Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Could you please clarify, if you have downloaded the Yahoo email client on your PC?

Customer Replay

yes, i had to go thru a microsoft update the other day. I've used yahoo mail earlier in the year -and it is now stuck back in march- It says that the account is out of date. Tried using the fix button and it says sorry can't fix.

Understood.
Let's try to delete and re-download the Yahoo email app:

Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.
Find the app you want to remove, select More > Uninstall

Please let me know once it is uninstalled.
