Help please, iCloud for Windows - Outlook default profile setup and configuration I have been fighting an install of iCloud for Windows for weeks. No matter which Windows user is selected when installing iCloud for Windows, when it comes time to integrate with Outlook, it aborts and says "Outlook doesn't have a default profile defined" which is poppycock. Outlook only has one profile and it is the default. The last time I did this was years ago, the last time I bought a new machine. Back then you downloaded iCloud for Windows from Apple, now you download from Microsoft which my gut is telling me is part of the problem. As long as it was Apple intellectual property it worked. I suspect Microsoft felt they needed iCloud under their roof...I'm frustrated. I have created new profiles in Outlook and set them as default, added all email account to the new profile only to have iCloud abort again. I need help please. This feels like a bug, a bug that I am stuck in, a bug that I suspect other users have experienced. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

icloud for windows not showing check boxes for mail and contacts I run Office 365 including Outlook and have not been able to synch with my contacts and mail in iCloud for some time. I have checked the add-in for iCloud is active in Outlook and that my Outlook files are not stored in iCloud. I have deleted and reloaded iCloud for Windows from the Microsoft App store. But when I open iCloud for Windows it does not show the check boxes for mail and contacts. Any thoughts please?

I tried (unsuccessfully) the following "suggested solutions"

Reset protocols to point to Outlook
Uninstall the Office installation from the Microsoft Store app
Run PowerShell commands

I then uninstalled iCloud for Windows and re-installed iCloud for Windows, and that worked.
