iCloud for Windows and MS Outlook 2016

I have a Outlook mail profile setup but iCloud does not see it.

"Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook Settings and try again."

I have read so many issues on this but have not found a solution. This is on a new Windows 10 computer. All of the other four that were upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 easily upgraded to Outlook 2016 but not this one and I have spend many hours reading and it appears that are many with this same issue. I do not know if this is a MS or an Apple issue.

iCloud Add-in for Outlook 365 I recently purchased a new laptop and as part of the setup, decided to "upgrade" from Outlook 2016 to Outlook in Office 365. I installed iCloud for Windows and in the iCloud control panel tell it to include Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Tasks with Outlook. When I apply those changes, I get a message saying: "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again." When I check the Outlook settings, my Comcast email account IS configured as the default profile (which it was for 5 years with my old laptop which worked fine with Office 2010 and 2016). I've tried changing the default profile to another email account, but no difference. I really just like using the iCloud add-in to keep my contacts and calendars in sync with my iPhone. Not really concerned about email or tasks. Can anyone help?

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.
