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?

    Hi Owen,

    I am no computer wizard and have to rely on Microsoft Support. My suggestion is that you contact them and let them work their magic on your pc remotely. It has worked for me more than once with the Outlook problem you describe. My only cautionary word would be that if you have a large list of contacts, make sure that you tell them that you cannot afford to lose it!

    More than likely they will re-install the Office Suite and that will delete your contacts list unless you tell them that you don't want to lose it!

    I wish you well.

    Best regards,

    Phil Emmans.

    G'day,

    I am just so sick and tired of the repeated difficulties I have had trying to open Outlook 365 since installing the system four months ago. The issue occurs every other week.

    Please advise a permanent fix. I usually get around the issue but starting Outlook in safe mode but even that doesn't seem to work anymore?

    Regards

    Owen Vaughan

    outlook 365 does not appear to work with windows 11.

    A cloud based version seems to work ..

    This is getting very confusing when you are 20 years on a pc and new to cloud

    I had a similar problem and was advised to reload MS Office.

    Just be careful that you don't lose your contacts in Outlook.with this.

    My Outlook 365 now works fine.

    Regards,

    Phil.

    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.
