iCloud and Outlook 2019 profile issue

I had the same problem and fixed it this morning. I went to Control Panel and uninstalled (removed) iCloud for Windows. I downloaded a fresh copy and installed that. The error message is gone and my calendar and contacts are now available to Outlook 2019.

Do you have any other suggestions? I am having the same issue and this link does not address the issue that was posted - iCloud doesn't appear to recognise the profile for Outlook for some reason and complains whenever I try with this message "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."

I had the same problem and an apple technician just fixed it for me. I bought a new computer with Windows 10 pro and outlook 2019 and it would not sync with iCloud.

Go to your program list, go to iCloud, choose iCloud from drop down menu, right click on iCloud, select more, select open file location, select properties, select compatibility, run compatibility troubleshooter, then choose try recommended settings...it should open the iCloud windows and sync! Good luck

I am running Windows 10 Pro. I have been running Outlook 2016 (Office 2016 Pro Plus) for months and successfully syncing my Outlook calendar and contacts with my iPhone and iPad via the iCloud app on my PC. I just updated my Office to 2019 today. It stopped working. When starting iCloud app, I get error message, ""Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile.  Check your Outlook settings and try again." I ran the compatibility troubleshooter, accepted the recommended change (Windows 8 compatibility), but no success. Is there an update coming for iCloud for PC to enable it to recognize Outlook 2019? Help!

I am having the same issue with outlook 365. I get the same error message from i-cloud.

i have the same issue - "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again." Tried everything for days but no luck.

Same issue...

Maryann Thank you for your post. it worked like a charm

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. It worked :-)

Although it resolved the issue iCloud recognizing my default profile, Outlook still will not sync my contacts with iCloud through the Window iCloud app.

Thanks Maryann, this fixed my problem as well

I had the same problem Janorama. I posted the fix that worked for me above. Scroll up a few posts and you should see it.

Maryann - I saw your post earlier today. I tried the same thing earlier but it did not work.

My Microsoft Office installation was transferred from my old laptop to a new desktop computer, both using Windows 10. My old laptop had Office 2016 on it, the new computer had Office 365, but using the profile from the older installation. The Microsoft technician had to reinstall Office 365, rebuild my profile and bring my old Outlook data files to get the synching to work.
