As mousetail said, many email clients do not support base64 encoding https://www.caniemail.com/features/image-base64/

You are almost correct with the following:

<td> <img src="C:\Users\Desktop\work.png" alt="Capgemini" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"> </td>

But upload the image to the internet first, in a publicly available place (i.e. some website). Then the src should be src="https://www.somewhere.com/image.png"

It is unstated, but, picking up on your margin-left and right, if you want the image to be centered you should do that on a block element, rather than trying to change <img> to a block. The reason is that Outlook desktops do not support changing inline elements to block or vice-versa.
