Sent an email out yesterday and low and behold, contacts re-populated right before my eyes. Go figure. Will check the laptop later this morning. Thanks to everyone for the input.:cool:

This is the Outlook that came with 365. So all the same. Thanks

Two Apple friends have contacted me as another one of our group has asked for help with the same issue with Outlook Classic. Surprising that there is not more in here on the topic.

Tried contacting Microsoft CA support this morning and all systems seem to be down. Likely due to so many customers calling in with issues.

Thanks for all the input. I always put hard issues on here as I really try to solve things on my own. But, I am an old fart doing his best.

Created a new outlook net account; logged in and the same issue exactly exists !!

This whole situation corrected itself. Still can't explain why it was happening. oh well.

just more info; fired up the old laptop and ran all its updates and it does the same as pc.

If I click on the TO button no contacts; if I click on the line, I see a few favorites. Click on PEOPLE and they are all there. Did do a re-boot; also, outlook has been working fine for a couple of months until now.

I figure this is happening after updates. Last time "People" was empty, but contacts were available when using BCC etc. This time "People" is fully populated but there are no contacts available when using Bcc or anything else. Couple showing up under favorites. I don't know how to get them...

have turned off write cashing on both ssd drives for a couple of days; see what the difference actually is.

Belated, but I did do the system recovery procedure, so thanks. Will give fast copy a go; I have a work around here at least that involves my old laptop.

Happy New Year to all that have tried to help me with this issue. Not going to be resolved anytime soon me thinks. So, I got the laptop hooked to the pc with a bridging cable. I am using the laptop to do what I want with the big files, then I copy or move them over to the correct folder on...

I have done the system-recovery process; no change; weird sitting at my desk with an old win 11 laptop that does the job while right next to it is my much newer pc with the problem. I have contained all issues on the 2T SSD so I can't blame the other 3 drives, at least I don't think I can.
