Outlook 365 not opening in Windows 11

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?

    This is a simple fix, just follow these instructions.

    You can do Office repair to fix this issue

    1. Open Control Panel - Programs and Features
    2. Select Microsoft Office in the application list
    3. Right click and click 'Change'
    4. Click 'Repair' then select Online Repair

    It worked for me.

    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.
