Is there a know issue opening People in out look. Every time I open PEOPLE in outlook I get a message saying that they cannot access my address book at this time. If I go to outlook using edge, chrome, or any other browser and go to PEOPLE it does show all of my addressees. My calendar works just fine in outlook.

Chosen solution

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Flash Player Version 19.0.0.185
