Not to make any assumptions ... how are you disabling/enabling connected services? We have used the reg hacks below, but it does not change a thing if we enable them.
DISABLE
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\privacy]
"disconnectedstate"=dword:00000002
"usercontentdisabled"=dword:00000002

I just did it using the Options - General - Privacy in Outlook. I think you can also do it from the Account page.
Of course, if you're trying to keep a user from messing with it, you need to do it in the registry or Group Policy, but I've never done that with my systems, so I can't help you there. Good luck.
