Open up the Windows Explorer and navigate to the following directory:C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\If you are not able to see the AppData folder, you will have to enable the hidden folders by clicking on File and then selecting ‘Change folder and search options’.

I tried this same thing described in SysInfoTools (https://www.sysinfotools.com/solve-error/outlook-365-module-error-code-80090016.html) and it wouldn't allow me to empty contents of the NGC file. That didn't fix my Office activation and, at some point, it let me enter my account username and password but failed to let me create a Pin (not sure why that disappeared). Unfortunately, after a reboot and hoping it worked, I am now locked out of my computer--It reads "you'll need the internet for this" to login to my microsoft account, but it is connected to the WiFi network.
Once I can re-access my computer, I can try mcgood2000's solution since my motherboard was just replaced.
- This didn't do it. The Ngc folder was empty.
not sure if that has worked - will find out when using the computer tomorrow as it only does this randomly - I suddenly find that i have to login to an app such as office 365 and outlook again and again - also adobe DC- all this after the latest W10 update! i use my computer 12+ hours aday and am very busy at the moment so do not have time for messing around with my computer.
Thank you for your input I will see if all is resolved.
- I've been using these steps to clear the TPM error's
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/tpm/initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm
To clear the TPM
Open the Windows Defender Security Center app.
Click Device security.
Click Security processor details.
Click Security processor troubleshooting.
Click Clear TPM.
You will be prompted to restart the computer. During the restart, you might be prompted by the UEFI to press a button to confirm that you wish to clear the TPM.
After the PC restarts, your TPM will be automatically prepared for use by Windows 10.- This didn't work. I don't even have a Security processor (Sicherheitsprozessor, Standardardwaresicherheit in German)
