Hi Ben, thanks for reproting this issue. I am a PM on the Mac Outlook team and would like to help you with this issue. Seems like your Insider Fast features are dissappearing and reappearing randomly. Can you help answer the following questions?

 

  • Can you run this command, both when you do have access to these features, and when you dont and reply back with the results?
    • Open Terminal and type "defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2 ChannelName" without the quotes.
    • Reply back with the output.
  • Do you have multiple installs of Outlook or other Office apps?
  • When you run into this issue, are you connected to the internet? Or are you working offline?

 

Thanks Ben!
