Windows 10: Ctrl-Click on an email address in Word opens the Add an Account dialogue in Office 365...

I have a laptop running Windows 10 and Office 365. There are two user accounts which are both mine.


In one of the user accounts if I Ctrl-Click an email address in Word, it goes straight to Outlook and opens a new email window. In the other account if I do the same thing it opens an "Add an Account" dialogue as shown below which of course I don't want to do.


So I am wondering why the Ctrl-Click of an email address in Word has a different outcome depending on which user account I am in. Both accounts have Windows 365 fully installed and registered, so why the difference.


I do hope someone can shed some light on this.

Office 365 Outlook email accounts

The reason I am asking these questions are that two individuals are buying two new laptops and would like to share one Microsoft Office 365 Personal.
A has a subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal already and wants to share the same account with B.
I have installed Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc B and when launching Outlook all my email accounts from A were loaded. So, I cannot figure out how to install Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc so that my email accounts A are not loaded.
This raises more questions for me.

1. So this
   • User A installs and activates O365 on User B's laptop
   • User B adds his / her email accounts to Outlook
   would not apply to Microsoft Office 365 Personal as it breaches the licence agreement?
2. Am I correct?
3. If it does apply how can I install Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc so that my email accounts A are not loaded, and I can only add B email account on the second pc?
4. Would B be able to access A OneDrive?
5. Or would B have a separate 1TB free space in One drive, or only the free 5GB or none at all?
6. And most importantly is this even legal or in breach of contract as Microsoft Office 365 Personal is for one user only?

 

Office 365 Outlook email accounts

O365 Personal cannot be shared. It can be installed on unlimited number of devices, but it must be activated with the same subscriber Microsoft account on each device.

Extract from Office 365 subscriptions - On how many devices can Office be installed:

However, the activation Microsoft account email does not have to be added to Outlook. A fully valid and functional example:

• User A subscribes to O365 Personal
• User A installs and activates O365 on his / her laptop
• User A adds his / her email accounts to Outlook
• User A installs and activates O365 on User B's laptop
• User B adds his / her email accounts to Outlook

The point is, that the O365 Personal subscriber email is required to activate Office on each device, but it don't have to be added to Outlook. In above example, both User A and User B add only their own email accounts to Outlook, and cannot see each other's accounts and emails.

Exactly.

Thanks.
No changes with me. Which Office version are you using?
I just updated to



Office 365.

No changes.

I don't see any changes in 1902 insider as well.

The below is how it looks like with me (based on 1901)





Maybe, if you would try to create a number of new files with long names, so the list of 'Recent' would be more populated, then you might get the vertical scroll bar (like me) and then get the same effect?
