I can successfully sign into my Microsoft account and access OneDrive and account.microsoft.com. Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, and Outlook Mobile all fail with StartupData HTTP 500 errors. Here is the error message I am getting when going to outlook.live.com and calendar.live.com

UTC: 2026-08-31T16:34:39.475Z

Request ID: f2de63c7-c87e-9812-96f6-bf2f23260d0c

Client ID: EAEA7735FCE24A819790500040B9B7FE

Session ID: 292b244d-6266-4e0b-9976-e056000e4d1f

Error Source: StartupData

Status: 500

Front End: DS1PR07CA0002

Any help would be appreciated. Unable to get to human support and online support tells me that outlook is fine.

Regards

Chris
