    Here's a work-around: You can restart or you can end the task "Outlook" in Task Manager then try opening Outlook.

    A useless waste of my time. I did all of the steps you gave, and my outlook desktop still fails to open. Thanks for nothing.

    I am using New Outlook version 1.2024.717.400 (Production). I still have the problem where I click on the Outlook Icon and Outlook does not start. But I have been able to work around it as follows:

    1. Right-click on the Outlook icon.
    2. Click on "Open Calendar".
    3. When the Outlook Calendar comes up, then click on the "Mail" button at the top left corner of the app window. Magically, Outlook Mail opens up
