Windows – Cannot download correct version of Windows Media Feature Pack (iCloud/ Outlook syncing issue)

icloudmicrosoft-outlook-2013syncwindows 10windows update

I'm having a problem syncing my iCloud with my Outlook mailbox. My calendar, contacts and tasks have disappeared. I understand this is probably the result of some sort of compatibility issue with Windows 10. I've had the problem before but managed to fix it previously but I'm having trouble doing so this time.

In order to fix it, I believe I need to upgrade my iCloud but to do that, I'm told I need to first update my Media Features Pack for Windows. I am using Windows 10 Pro N (x64) and I have the Media Features Pack KB3010081 currently installed. I've downloaded what I believe is the latest Media Features Pack KB3099229_x64 but when I try to install it, I get the message "Feature Pack for Windows KB3010081 is already installed on this computer".

It seems my system doesn't recognise that the latest update is different. I tried to uninstall the old version (KB3010081) in order to then re-install the new one, but the old one doesn't appear in the list of installed updates on my control panel (see pic).

I am at a loss and have been going round and round in circles. Please help!
