Outlook 365 Can't create profile.
Using outlook 2016, my client was continually prompted for their password . I found a solution online and followed the steps. Afterwards, outlook hung on loading profile. I deleted the profile and tried to create a new one, but an error message is displayed and I cannot create a new profile now. I tried reinstalling office , but that did not work. This has been going on for about a month and the client is getting pretty annoyed with the outlook web app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Go to the Mail app in the Control Panel, attempt to create a new profile, when it fails, hit OK to create the profile anyway (even though it is incomplete), set it as the default, then launch Outlook. It should start the first-time account setup ... see if that works.
