Windows 10 Mail Attachments - Download Failed

Anonymous

I am synching my outlook.com email across my desktop, tablet and windows phone. Over the past 3 weeks, the Windows 10 Mail app on each device shows the majority of (but not all) attachments as "Download Failed".

The attachments failing include, jpeg, pdf, docx, xlsx etc.

I am able to download the attachments manually from outlook.com.

It is not antivirus or firewall related, as I am running different options on the different devices.

Are others experiencing this issue and are there any known solutions.

    Yes, I can download from the main browser.

    I only have my outlook.com account running through the Windows 10 app.

    The troubleshooter does not identify any issues.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks
