Using this version of outlook:
Microsoft Outlook Version: 1.2026.504.100
Client Version: 20260515007.06
WebView2 Version: 148.0.3967.70
Display name when I type my email address is wrong. Do not know where it came from. Double click on this wrong name (correct email address), brings up something like a contact card, click on "Update your profile", it shows the correct "Full name". I edit it anyways, change it to something else, but this doesnt change the display name for my email address. Extremely frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Chris,
On the Version of Outlook you have, the name comes from https://account.microsoft.com/profile page if it is an Outlook.com Email address. Please change there and let me know if it works.
I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.
It worked! Thanks for your help. It seems there are many places where account info can be updated which is unfortunate.
Awesome! I am glad I could help you out!
