Outlook only allows us to convert into vCard format (a vcf file). However you can only convert one contact at a time. Also outlook import functionally limited to 1 vcf-file at a time. We may can have multiple contacts in vcf file but outlook will only import the first contact in that file. Imagine if you have 100’s contact which we do have now a days, it would be very cumbersome to import one by one.
Remedies:
· Export to csv file
· Import to windows contacts
· Use a 3rd party add-in
· Script

Import to Windows contacts first
Importing to windows contact support importing both a folder containing multiple vcf files or importing from single v-card containing multiple contacts.
Windows Contacts is a default Windows folder which you can find in your user profile folder.
By default, this location is;
C:Users%username%ContactsUse 3rdparty vCard add-in
As outlook import functionality is quite limited, we may can use some third party add-ins to improve that.
