Outlook.com email account appears as "outlook_[long series of letters and numbers]

When I log into my 360 account, my Gmail email address I can see and use everything, and the correct profile email address is displayed within my profile when you click on the profile photo.

My problem occurs when I click on Outlook, and I am taken to Outlook Live, which displays a totally different email address made up of a long series of letters and numbers, as displayed below. 

I can not find this email address in my profile, but if I download the apps from my 360 account, my original email appears, and everything works normally. So my problem is I can not use Outlook in 360 as it displays the incorrect email address - Any thoughts on how to remove this email address

    Garrybrown Same.

     

    There is this link

    But it doesn't help me as my current OL address does not appear to set as an alias but when I try and add it, it says the address already exists.

    I too am having the same problem. In fact, if you Google search this issue, you will find it has been a problem for many. I have yet to see anyone come up with a solution…….yet.
