I guarantee this comment gets scrubbed.  But I PRAY that before it does, it helps some other poor sucker.

No, it won't get scrubbed. They never do that. At first I thought it was because they're being tolerant. Then I realized they simply, absolutely, unequivocally don't care.

I got "Your account does not have access to this feedback" when I tried to go to that link.

I can see other feedback items including "Email account is not syncing" which had 110,548 upvotes. Interesting, that; I had that problem too. I didn't upvote it though, because I found the fix; dump Outlook, use my Microsoft account only for the effectively required {grinds teeth}... logon account in Windows 10, and switch everything else to GMail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts.

But back to the subject at hand, I have to admit that somehow I've dodged this bullet. I made the changes recommended in Xircal and Bill Levinson's earlier posts and so far CompatTelRunner.exe has not re-reared its repulsive head.

I guess you need to be a windows insider, I will update my post with that information. I disabled it in the task scheduler for now, we will see how long that works.
