I noticed that Outlook did not open automatically in Windows 11 like it should when I rebooted, so I tried to start it manually. That didn't work either. Not even running "outlook /safe" worked.
Am I missing something here?
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments

I very carefully did these instructions. The installer came back with an error unable to install a 64 bt fix to a 32bt program and promptly;y uninstalled my 365. I have a brand new HP 64 bit machine. Now not only is outlook not there but none of the other MS 365 programs are either. Hopefully a reinstall will work.
3/28/2020: Fix not implemented yet. No updates available. Safe mode won't work.
Thank you!
This is what worked for me back on 1/25/22.

Hi all,
The Outlook Team just disabled the change that was causing the issue. You might need to restart Outlook a couple times to pick up the change. This issue is now resolved.
