This version was shipped with new computers beginning in the fall of 2017. I had a few major (and many minor) complaints with it: - Popular COM addins, such as iCloud or GSuite, did not work with it. Users needed to uninstall it and install a click to run version to use the addin. - Uninstalling it deleted everything: profiles, ost files, signature files, templates, macros, etc – everything that is stored in the appdata path. With Centennial, the appdata path is under C:Users%username%AppDataLocalPackages[app name] and the entire folder is deleted when the app is deleted. Since most users did not know this, if they used Centennial for a few weeks (or months) before deciding to move to click to run, they could lose calendar & contacts stored in IMAP data files, their signatures, macros and other data. And they needed to recreate their profile from scratch. - Because the profile was stored in a virtual registry key, you could not export the profile or edit (or backup) the registry keys. If you have Centennial installed, you can continue to use it. Users looking to get Office from the Windows store will be redirected to download click to run and new computers will have click to run preinstalled. Microsoft may release an upgrade utility to move users to click to run. Click to run can be installed from either [( or [( Installing click to run removes Centennial during the install process - copy your signatures, templates and other files before installing click to run. If you have calendar and contacts in an IMAP data file, export the 'this computer only' folders to CSV files before installing click to run.

[] My Templates add-in is missing Some users discovered their My Templates add-in is missing. This is a bug and it should be fixed now, but if your My Templates add-in is not working yet, your administrator needs to disable it and re-enable it in The Exchange admin center. Look for it under organization > add-ins. Note that it may take a couple of hours for the add-in it sync to users. [] Weather bar in Outlook’s Calendar The weather feature in Outlook’s calendar wasn’t working for a couple of days but should be fixed now (or will be soon). The cause: Outlook looks for the weather at weather.service.msn.com, which is redirected to the actual weather provider, which was down. The weather feature in Outlook on the web is provided by a different service and is not affected.
