      SKafi  how did you "ran regedit and removed all instances of this string : 0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 "  i ran that program and do not know where to find those strings to delete them.

      If that is not what you did, let me know what you did do.

       

      thanks,

        2009GrizJust do a search for the string (Edit->Find...). Delete all keys where it shows up (except for maybe the one that is associated with RegEdit that'll likely be found) by pressing F3 until it's not found any more. Then make sure to do the Office repair right afterward.

      This helped for me using Office 365 (probably works for 2016 aswell) 

       

      Go to Standard Apps - Change Email to Outlook and then it is working

    modykhanjan , what worked for me is uninstalling microsoft office desktop apps

     

    Go to Widows Settings>Default Apps>Apps and Features>Uninstall Microsoft Office Desktop Apps.
