The “add account” link is broken as the “add account” window is broken & is a blank window. After trying the command you suggested than restarting my Windows 10 SmartTab I still face the issue. I typed in the command you suggested into the admin Command Prompt. After it completed it said “The operation completed successfully”. I restarted my Windows 10 SmartTab 2in1 device, launched the mail app, and still I face the issue of broken “add account” link and the “add account” window being blank
^^ Have you tried re-registering the app?
…to update, my “add account’ link in my mail app now works and I now get the window with accounts I can add. I did not try re-registering, I did not see your reply to me suggesting that until just now. What I ended up doing was I went to the Windows app store to uninstall & than was going to reinstall the mail app. However instead of an uninstall option I only saw the “install” option. So I was confused but decided to try it. After getting the “installed successfully” prompt I launched the mail app, clicked “add account” and now it works and I can choose accounts to add.
^^ Glad the issue is resolved, thanks for update!
I’m unable to add the same… it’s showing we coant connect to service you want right now. Check your internet connection and try again later.

^^ Re-register the app and see if it helps.
THANK GOD, finally a developer-friendly solution, work as expected lolll
^^ Glad to help!
