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?

    Restart Outlook a couple of time to correct the problem that Outlook won't start? Am I understanding you correctly?

    Yes - this works. Although I chose 'quick repair' - not 'online repair' - and that worked too!

    Thank you @David Blaney - your solution (Win+R then outlook.exe /resetnavpane) solved it for me!
    My incident was caused due to my machine not being able to un-hibernate, ever since upgrading to Windows 11.

    This time I had Outlook and several other apps open when I hibernated the machine, the subsequent restart failed, and I had to reboot the machine.

    Only to then discover that Outlook was hanging on launch. (sigh).

    I'm sure that's brilliant - but I didn't understand a word of it. I lost it on line 1.

    Posted for Geeks but not comprehensible to the rest of the universe.

    I'm still trying to find out why Outlook on my desk top suddenly disappeared and how to persuade it to come back home.

    Thanks for trying anyway

    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.

    Regards

    Dutch
