Q: Using iCloud with Windows 10 / Outlook 2013 - How to get Contact Groups to work?
Here's what I did:
I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 today.
Deleted my previous Outlook 2013 iCloud datafile in Outlook 2013. Quit Outlook.
Installed the newest version of iCloud for Windows. Set it to manage contacts etc.
Restarted the computer, then Outlook.
I was delighted to see my contacts and calendars again.
However, when I tried to use my old iCloud Groups, they wouldn't work. Outlook reported an undetermined error.
Tried to create new groups. I could create them, but not use them for addressing in Outlook.
They work fine on my Mac email client.
This used to work in previous versions of iCloud - e.g., the Groups could be used to as email distribution lists to add lots of names easily to emails.
Anyone else seen this? Anyway to create iCloud contact groups that are usable for addressing emails in Outlook 2013 running on Windows 10?
WIndows 10

It may or not be related but note that System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support states "Windows 10 currently isn't supported with iCloud for Windows."
