GPO configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address not working on W10 GPO for Office Outlook 2013

As always firstly thanks to anyone/everyone for their time and kind insights. We are running 2 2016 DC (FFL/DFL is 2012R2 right now) W7 with a GPO set for users to automatically configure their Outlook 2013 for our 2013 Exchange. It works seamlessly for W7 users in the W7 OU/GPO container. However, I applied the same settings for W10b1903 users OU/GPO but it does not do this automatically.
GPO setting: Administrative Templates (Users) > Microsoft Outlook 2013> Account Settings > Exchange > Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address.
ENABLED!
Same settings on both and the user sits directly in the OU that the GPO gets applied to. I can see other GPO items working, just not this one. Is there some new trick? I have the latest W10b1903/server 2016 ADMX templates in the central store and the last available (2017) templates for Office 2013. It should work with GPO from what I have read. Any insights greatly appreciated.

Policy is enabled and applying on both W7 and W10 and no other linked GPO.
Would rather not do registry, because GPO worked for W7 users with same setting so I am hoping same for W10.
Only difference is admx template for Outlook 2013 on W7 was from 2015 and is from 2017 for W10, but I have not heard or read any issues with the 2017 version.
