Outlook need password. 1812 Bug or Feature? You decide.
Not sure what Fiddler trace is. After searching it I'm not sure how that would help me. I went ahead and uninstalled office and reinstalled it last week. So far it hasn't happened again. It's just annoying. I'll reply to this if it happens again.

MicrosoftSeeing for which type of request was Outlook receiving 401s could lead to understanding what was causing the problem.
Well, it's happening again. I can't understand what the cause is. Basically the sign in screen flashes and goes away. A workaround was to go to file account and sign out of the office 365 account and sign back in. Now that doesn't work. I signed out but now when I try to sign back into my Microsoft account I put in my email address and click next then the sign in screen disappears and the password prompt never comes up.
At this point I'm just baffled. It might be time to just reinstall windows. I don't have much time on this install, maybe about 4 months which is a little quick to go south so soon. I just don't want to waste a bunch of time troubleshooting when wiping it out completely and starting over might fix it. If it happens again after that, well I might just put a hole in the computer and call it a day lol!
