I encountered this error while trying to create a new profile for Outlook 2013. When i tried to access Mail from control panel; it gave me the error operating system is not presently configured to run this application This was for a user who recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7.
Before you proceed with these instructions; make sure you have your license and activation keys/details in order to re-activate office after repairing it.
Since i did this for Outlook 2013; which was bought online the client had to use his email address and password (which he used to buy Office online) to re-activate it.
Steps to fix operating system is not presently configured to run this application
1. Go to Control Pane -> Programs & Features
2. In the search bar on the top right; type “office”
3. Choose your version of Office
4. Click Change
5. Choose Repair (If it is Office 2013 or 365) then choose the full online repair option.

7. After the repair has finished; reboot your computer and re-activate Office if needed.
