PDF extension is denied from Outlook. What happens if the same PDF attached to the Mail is saved on the Desktop? Can you open it from the Desktop?

Run Outlook with admin rights, open PDF, when warning appears, say allow PDF/no warning. Now the normal user will have the same settings.

Closed Outlook and reopened it and does the same thing

ran Outlook.exe /resetnavpane   same issue

Thanks Kimputer,

Already ran that Repair from Utube link in original Question

Called Microsoft and we spend 2.5 hours on the phone even setting up another Profile caused the Same Error

They Said to Uninstall Office Reboot PC  Delete Microsoft Office folder in Program files and Program data

Reboot and do fresh install....

Will Try that when I get a chance...

editing that registry entry fixed the problem, are you sure you have the same version of outlook as the one in the video? in cas you do not, then the number would be different in your registry key
