Outlook 2016 images in messages are not downloading.... even when we uncheck the option to block them

I have several customers having this issue.... well they are all likely seeing the problem.
New outlook messages since about 2 weeks ago no longer download images.

I can go in and unblock this function and it still doesn't help.
I go into Trust Center and I turned off the check box for Don't download pictures automatically in HTML email messages or RSS items. But the images in the emails don't download still.

Not sure if there is another location for the settings to  allow images.
Clients are starting to email me about it. Their gmail accounts or other that use outlook are starting to have their images blocked too. I see many emails asking me to click a link to see the email in HTML format.
It all shows up there in that format.


Any ideas?

I went into Internet Explorer and went to tools and options then advanced tab

I reset settings
That worked on client machine for his outlook
Think mine may be related to spam filter / proofpoint

URLs are changed to protect my system on images and downloadable items
Yes I have. and I do
You can disable the option "Check files for threats when written or modified" within Advanced Settings to resolve this for the time being until the permanent fix is released.

in Webroot?
The fix was to update to the latest version of Webroot Antivirus
