When I click the button it opens a generic msn webpage. My company uses DSSO so everything is already signed in. Can't seem to find anyone else who has had this error. I have tried repairing office, recreating mail profile etc.

    Btw.: This fix only seems to work with Windows 10, Version 21H1 (exact version: 10.0.19043 Build 19043). It does not seem to work with Windows 10, version 20H2.

    I found 2 different solutions that both reliably solve the problem:

    1. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator add/set the value NoActiveProbe to 0x00000001 and reboot, or alternatively
    2. Disable DNS over TLS (DoT) for the respective network (i.e. switch back to good old unsecure DNS), and reboot router and machine
