I was able to solve this by adding a default email account to my Windows 10 profile. Forgive my instructions, I'm not a formerly trained tech guy, I just like to solve problems.

1) Windows Start menu.

2) On the left side of the drop down from bottom to top will be icons for power, settings, pictures, documents, and your user account/profile.

3) Select the user account icon and then select "change account settings" in the pop up.

4) Select "Email & accounts."

5) Select "Add an Account"

6) Add in your email account and password just as it is in your email program. 

7) Hint: I use Outlook 365 for my Gmail account on multiple PCs, so I selected the "IMAP" option.

Hope this helps. As I said, I'm no expert, I just stumbled across this solution while trying to solve this problem.
