I've got the same problem as well, Outlook 365 won't open, not using anything fancy just POP and IMAP email, was working a few hours ago, started my laptop and then it's suddenly not starting, asking for profile choice. Why can't Microsoft leave things that aren't broken alone and make sure they test their updates properly. The email profile settings all in place via the Mail Icon in 'Control Panel' but when I did get it once it's like none of the email accounts were there and I was starting Outlook from scratch. Tried adding my Gmail account and pointing it at the right data file but no joy, wouldn't connect to the data file and neither would it retain the settings and open Outlook again. Get it fixed Microsoft...!!
