Outlook blank or Empty authentication window When connected to office 365

After migrating from on-perm to Office 365 on terminal server I get this blank authentication window. the fix I found is to add in the registery this key :

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\EnableADAL
REG_DWORD
0

or

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
 "EnableADAL"=dword:00000000

There is another case with similar behavior in outlook 2016 or outlook 365 and the fix is this registry key :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

After adding this line, Outlook got connected with no issue, yet this is not recommended solution by Microsoft, here is more details on how to over come this error:
