I was getting the "Your Outlook security settings may not be optimal" popup, but when I click on that message as instructed, no additional information is provided. It simply opens OGCS app at a generic spot with no information.
ShowBubbleInfo("Your Outlook security settings may not be optimal.\r\n"+
"Click here for further details.",ToolTipIcon.Warning,"OOMsecurity");
It's a bit confusing to suggest users will get specific help, but not directly provide it. :)
Would it be possible to direct people to the Wiki where you have a solution documented when they click that notification? Here's a couple solutions I was thinking:
Directly open the URL to wiki in the system default browser
Add the section from online wiki to the local application FAQ section.
Add another line to the popup message that says something like:
"Check out the Github project Wiki section for '[Why am I getting Outlook security pop-ups?'
Right now, It's not immediately easy or quick to track down the info because it requires some manual scouring through the wiki - the terms are too generic since there's no error code or information code to tie directly to OGCS. A search for "Your Outlook security settings may not be optimal" doesn't get you to the wiki. You've got an image pasted, which is great for visuals, but bad for web-indexing. Just pasting the exact error message as text on that page may help with search indexing, but I'd still recommend implementing at least one of the other "direct" fixes mentioned above.
You've got a great solution (which worked for me) but I'm just suggesting getting users directly to the solution with less friction.

Thanks for the feedback @numericOverflow. This is actually covered by #1870 which confirmed the notifications need to be brought up to date for Windows 10 and 11, which is on the backlog.
Good suggestions for improvements meanwhile though - I've added the matching text to the wiki (and alt text to the image) to help searches as suggested 👍🏻
