ITUNES SYNCHING OF CALENDAR AND CONTACTS WITH OUTLOOK

What iTunes version is installed now?

iTunes v 12.11.3.17 on windows 10 Home 64-bit

OK, so the same version that has introduced this deprecation warning. I was worried there had been another release already from your earlier post.

That's the same version that I have on Win10 Pro (64-bit). It still works to sync Outlook with iPhone, so you just need to prevent future iTune updates...or use one of the other suggestions.

Apple is just doing its best to alienate their customers. I tried iCloud... And lost over 10 years of personal and work based calendar and contact data (thankfully I was able to restore about 60% of it from computer backups after about a week of non-stop effort). I actually went through the waterboarding torture of calling in for customer support and their technician could not help me (I was trying to set up Active-Sync on my devices). Her suggestion was just do it manually but now they want to take that away. Anyone who has lived in the Apple world knows that, on a whim, they will turn their user's world upside down as it suits them and their real customers, the people they sell your data to. I DO NOT trust MY data to Apple, Microsoft, Google, or any off-site platform. I just bought a 2020 iPad Pro last year but I guarantee I will not be purchasing any more Apple or iTunes products going forward. Unfortunately, most of the 3rd-party apps I've seen are based on drinking the iCloud/Google/Microsoft Kool Aide and require entrusting my privacy to these oligarchical despots. In the meantime, no more updates to iTunes or iPads for me.

I am no longer getting the message. What do you think this means? They just don't want us to know?

Not sure, but to be on the safe side, I'm not going to update iTunes. I'm sure someone will complain if a future update prevents syncing of Outlook.

The message is still coming up for me. Perhaps you clicked the box to not see the message again?

Don't think so. But I guess I could have done that accidently.

I don’t remember a box saying not to show this message again, but I could have forgotten. I don’t get the message anymore either, but I am positive I wouldn’t intentionally dismiss it. I also won’t update iTunes.

Same here.
