When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK. Help
I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016. I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.
The steps that worked for me:
(1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed
(2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair
(3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions
(4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])
(5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)
(6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing
(7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com
I hope it works for you!

(download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
