Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile

I found this answer from micrisoft.com which worked for me:

In Windows 10, I found the iCloud shortcut on the Start menu. I right-clicked on it, and opened File Location. There, I right-clicked on the iCloud shortcut and went to Properties. Set it for compatibility with Windows 8 and clicked OK.

Back in the iCloud settings, I was able to set it up to sync with my Outlook calendar.

After 3 months and 4 clients with this same issue, finally found a solution online. No other solution also included adding "compatibility mode" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\icloud.exe

Hi,

It appears there is an issue with the 'Microsoft Store' version of Office when it's installed on a new PC (Typically Dell computers).

I have found this help article, which fixed the error!!

iCloud error: Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile

Hope that helps.

I had a new surface pro 5. I activated the on machine Office 365 Personal. Attempted iCloud install - got the famous 'repair' issue. Removed Office 365 Personal. Purchased from Office.com the same, now I see in Installed Programs. Re-installed iCloud - now I see the famous 'default' issue. Now I make the change your recommend after reading a lot of suggestions I would not take, and I think, no harm no foul, I try this simple change, and voila, working!

Spank you very much!

Yep ! It did work for me too !

Thanks a lot for the tip!
