To troubleshoot issues with Outlook or to disable problematic add-ins, you can open Outlook in Safe Mode. Here's how:
Close Outlook: Ensure that Outlook is completely closed before proceeding.
Access Run Command: Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run command box.
Enter Command: Type "outlook.exe /safe" (without quotes) in the Run box and click OK.
Choose Profile (if prompted): If you have multiple Outlook profiles, you may be prompted to select a profile. Choose the appropriate one and click OK.
Observe Safe Mode: Outlook will now open in Safe Mode, displaying "Safe Mode" in the program title bar.
Troubleshoot/Add-in Management: While in Safe Mode, you can troubleshoot issues or manage add-ins. Disable any recently installed or suspicious add-ins that may be causing problems.
Restart Outlook: After troubleshooting or managing add-ins, close Outlook and open it normally. It should open without entering Safe Mode.
Opening Outlook in Safe Mode helps isolate and identify issues caused by conflicting add-ins, faulty settings, or corrupt data. If you encounter persistent problems, you may consider repairing or reinstalling the Outlook application.
