In Outlook 2016, I'm trying to create a new Data File.  When I click "Add" I get the error message:

An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x8000ffff.

I am tried new profile, new windows, another copy of office 2016 and still the same issue.

How do I fix this?

I have a solution for you (i googled it). In your screenshot i can see control panel in the background wich indicates you wanted to add new pst from there. And THAT is the problem. You can't. 

Solution:

Open Outlook 2016

click file>account settings wich opens the exact SAME dialog as from control panel and from there you can add another PST.. 

Well done M$ :D
