I worked for 2 hours installing Outlook on another computer then finally came upon this resolution.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
for me worked
CMD PROMPT AS ADMINISTRATOR: ”netsh winsock reset”!
On the left, select Change adapter settings (Windows 7) or Manage network connections (Vista). Right-click the connection for which you want to disable IPv6, and select Properties. Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and click OK
resolved the issue across all machines and OS's including win 10
