[German<\/a>]No idea if anyone from the readership uses outlook.om. As I just read, the web variant of Outlook seems to have a bug since a short time, which results in users not being able to create contacts anymore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"I don't use Outlook myself, neither as a Win 32 app, nor do I use my outlook.com test account productively. Therefore I don't get much information about problems. But Martin Geu\u00df became aware of the problem through problem descriptions in the German forum of Dr. Windows. One user left this German forum entry<\/a>, that says.<\/p>\n

Hello all,<\/p>\n

in the outlook.live.com web version the button +Add NEW CONTACT is missing.<\/p>\n

Maybe someone has an idea how I can add a new contact via the web page now?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"<\/p>\n

The problem was also confirmed there by other users – I myself called my test account (above picture) and could not find anything either. Martin Geu\u00df then investigated the whole thing a bit more closely and came across this post<\/a> with similar content at Paul Thorrott.<\/p>\n

Outlook.com add contact button<\/p>\n

I'm seeing weird behavior in outlook.com (personal, not corporate). When I'm on the people page, there's no add contact button. I had to add a contact on my phone in the browser there because I couldn't find the button in the desktop browser on outlook.com. There's supposed to be a button, but I don't see it. I tried in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. Anyone else seeing this behavior, or am I not seeing the button?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the above thread some workarounds are described. Martin then discussed the issue within this German post<\/a> on Dr. Windows and subsequently informed the Outlook team about the problem on Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are affected by this bug and need a quick workaround, you can find some hints in this post.<\/p>\n

Addendum:<\/strong> German reader Daniel L. sent me a hint on Facebook about another workaround (thanks for that).<\/p>\n

An update on the Outlook.com problem: A contact can also be added via the Microsoft Edge add-in \"Microsoft Outloo<\/a>k\". The add-in is also available for Google Chrome<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
