Data File cannot be configured SkypeForBusiness/Outlook

Anyone else seeing this?  I'm getting error message ... Your Outlook Data file cannot be configured. c:users\p.....\AppData\local\Microsoft\outlook\p....r.nst.  

 

This started right after the upgrade to Office 365 ProPlus, Insider Slow 1705 8201.2025, on 5/24.  

 

This occurs when ... Skype For Business is running.  Outlook on the desktop is not running.  As soon as I launch Office on the desktop (and keep it running), the errors stop.  When outlook is stopped, the errors start again.  The errors occur about every 1 minute or less.

    Same here. I thought that my .OST file from my primary mail account had corrupted so deleted all my mail accounts and downloaded over 35Gb of mail again... only to experience the same problem with Skype for Business once I'd closed Outlook after hours of no problems....

     

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 and the same release as below (Office 365 ProPlus, Insider Slow 1705 8201.2025, on 5/24.). Every time that the error message comes up (from Skype for Business) I've noticed that a new 16,024kb size Outlook data file is created in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook folder. 

     

    I guess it must be a bug in this release..
