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?

    Thanks for all the comments. The problem/solution was actually a lot simpler than I thought. The problem was Outlook had not (completely) closed. I found the icon hidden in the System Tray on the right side of the Task Bar. Once I was able to completely close the program it opened right up. So the reason it wasn't opening was because it was still partially open or closed.

    I went ahead and created a new profile and moved everything over to the new profile and reinstalled Office 365. All works now like it is supposed to.

    Thank you for your response.

    This assumes you have Microsoft 365:

    Open control panel. (search Control and click to open the control panel app)

    Open programs and features

    Scroll down to find "Microsoft 365 - en - us". Click it. Click Change.

    Click "yes" to "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?"

    Select Quick Repair. Click Repair.

    Outlook stops working roughly every other time I open it plus it prevents Windows (`11) from closing but the quick repair always returns it to functionality.
