Mobile Data on Windows 10

[OSurfaceX]

Hello everyone,

I am not able to connect to mobile data using Office apps such as Outlook on my Surface Pro X. I checked the settings, and there seems to be a control on which apps can and cannot use mobile data, and Outlook/MS office apps are not on the list. Is this normal? is there any workaround?

Thanks,
Omar

That is controlled in the Application Suite - typically Outlook and OneDrive -

Personal machine or corporate managed?

Personal machine, but my email runs on Exchange (if that makes any difference)

It can if your company is using an MDM/MAM (InTune, Airwatch, MaaS360, etc.) solution that pushed out a policy regarding Mobile Data.

It seems like it was a glitch, after a restart its working fine.
