It looks like Windows has lost the default email client. In cases like this, it sometimes helps to set another program as default in W10 Settings, then switch it back to Outlook.

If it still doesn't work, consider the MailStore method mentioned in my links.

When you select Tools/Import..., on the first window choose Address Books or Mail. Do not 'Import Everything' as that option is not working.
