My desktop outlook app will not open

Worked for me, first time I've had this issue.

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

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.

Hi Gunasekar,

I have a new twist on this same problem. I have Outlook pinned to my taskbar. When I click on the taskbar icon, I see the icon acknowledge that I clicked on it, but the Outlook app doesn't load. When I went to the app list through the start menu, and clicked on Outlook, it still didn't start.

Then I right clicked on the taskbar icon. It gave me some choices, like "send a new message: and "open calendar". I clicked on "open calendar" and then the Outlook Calendar opened. From there I could select "Mail" from the left-side menu, and Outlook immediately opened up to my email account. After processing my emails, I exited from Outlook. But when I clicked on the taskbar icon, the same old problem came up and Outlook wouldn't start from the taskbar icon.

Weird.
