    Just got an update from the Service Team:

    The fix for this most recent occurrence is rolling out at about 97% saturation worldwide. The dashboard shows the fixes being in these builds:

    15.20.7150.000

    15.20.7135.024/025

    To check for the fix, use the Connection Status Dialog to confirm the service version. Learn more about the Description of the Connection Status dialog in Outlook.

    1. Press and hold Ctrl, and then select the Microsoft Outlook icon in the notification area.
    2. Select Connection Status.

    This issue is reoccurring again for some users within our organization. We have OWA disabled for our users. We are using latest version of outlook client. The issue arises at the start of opening outlook and moving the cursor over the left side pane with calendar and email icon. The link redirects to https://outlook.office.com/opx/(workemailaddress)/activityfeed/?hostApp=outlookdesktop&culture=en-US. We have tried all the possible work arounds like changing register key, enabling disabling owa etc. But nothing seems to be working.

    Yeah we are encountering the same issue over many different laptops and accounts, i've raised this to support in hopes of having them look over the issue and hopefully patch it.

    I can report my end user is no longer having the issue. She stated it is not happening today.
