    My Outlook Contacts for *** Email address is removed for privacy *** have suddenly disappeared. Please help me restore them. Microsoft created another account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, which may be how to find my Contacts.

    I forgot to mention my calendars and subscribed calendars also returned after my work around.

    I also want to point out that before I started this process, I uninstalled all Outlook apps, especially and including Outlook New.

    I say the process worked for me, but I don't think it's an eloquent solution at all. It's just the only solution that I found to work. Unfortunately, I had to do this long process for everyone in my family. Then help extended family and coworkers too.

    This absolutely reminds me of the 10 years or so I ran a blog that was set up just to offer work arounds for problems with Microsoft software. It'd be nice if the software just worked correctly every time, but 30+ years in the small computer business has taught me that mainstream customers and corporate clients get bugs worked out more often, where small handfuls of people or small businesses have to use elaborate work around procedures.
