    Hi JeanneBrunelle,

    Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Community. My name is Sid, a Microsoft user like you and an Independent Advisor. I am sorry to know that you're no longer able to add new contacts to your contacts file. I'll be glad to help you with your concern.

    Before we proceed, may I know what application are you using with your Contacts file document?

    Are you trying to add contacts to a mail client or a specific application?

    I hope to hear from you soon so we can proceed.

    Regards,

    Sid

    Specific application in Windows 10:  In Documents - Contacts.

    I just tried to add new contact. The add new contact prompt is missing.

    This is the file for name, address, phone, email and notes.

    Hi Jeanne,

    Thank you so much for the update. I really appreciate it.

    When you say specific application in Windows 10, did you download it from the Microsoft store app?

    Is it the People app?

    If you can send screenshot and icon of it and send it here, that will be highly appreciated.

    Sid

    Photo 1 is the Contact file.  Photo 2 is when new is opened (does not allow to enter a new contact).  In the past there was a tab for ADD NEW CONTACT.  Photo 3 is what the little file looks like when opened.
