I click on the blue New Contact button & nothing happens. There is no error message. I have cleared the Outlook cache. I also did Quick Repair & Online Repair but I still cannot add new contacts.

    Super frustrating. Same issue. My "workaround" is that I can add a new Contact List. I created a new Contact list with the name. ******@aol.com and then list only one address on the list: ******@aol.com

    Now, when I type ******@aol.com I can send an email to the list, which only contains ******@aol.com

    Very Clunky and non Apple :-(. I've been forced to use Outlook by my hosting company GoDaddy or I would abandon Outlook immediately.

    We are having the same issue. I have this issue with my business email and my customers (who I sell this product to) are having the same issue. I click on add contact or edit and nothing happens. Also most of my icons are blurred out such as restore, move, add members, invite others, leave group and some other options

    I continue to have this problem. Microsoft community has been little help as well as support. I'm going to try a local IT guy to see if he can help. Good luck.
