Error - Something went wrong. [1001]
Hello, I am a 365 client for a few years. Today out of nowhere I was asked to log in to my account. When I attempt to do so, this is the error message:
******************************************************
Error
Something went wrong. [1001]

Error Code: 2147483661

This has never happened before, and can log into my account via https://www.office.com. But when I try to use the actual apps on my desktop it will not work, and kicks back the same error message for all the apps. I have seen other posts about this, but I am not conformable trying to change code and registry values. I need support from a MS professional, please advise as this is an acute issue.
Thank you in advance for your attention - Steve
