Stephanie/whomsoever,

     Like Igor I have the exact message and it happens when the machine starts up, always.

     I have figured out that it started when I uninstalled MS Office Version 7, and then downloaded

and installed MS Office 2016.

     My interpretation of this is that the UNINSTALL erased something it should not have

erased! 

     My MS Office products were only the WORD, EXCEL and POWERPOINT; nothing more

and I did not install all of the MS OFFICE products.

     I like Igor have never, in my computer life, ever had, used nor cared about MS Outlook !!!

     MS Outlook should not BE connected to the other products.

     Installation of MS Office products should not ever be connected, nor required, for any other

product's usage; especially WORD or EXCEL.

     My guess is that the uninstall messed up the registry !!

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you very much for your reply. I don't have any e-mail clients installed in my computer. I am using only the Office 365 webmail and Gmail.

Best wishes,

Igor

Hi Igor,

Thank you for providing the details. For us to further assist you, could you tell us which email application you are using?

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for your reply. As for the information asked:

• W10 Pro version 1709 build 16299.125 (running at a Surface Pro 3)
• Every time I turn on the computer, this exact message appears within a minute or less, even if I do not run any apps/software. Just by turning it on.
• I tried the steps by Kapil Arya MVP, but there is no Microsoft Outlook folder (as it is not installed in my computer). So, I cannot proceed to Step 3.

Best wishes,

Igor
