Outlook CRASHING, and now Office

Here is the content of a 'Post' I submitted recently, and I hope someone from MS has a solution:

 

Outlook regularly crashing
 

 

 

 

I regularly get this, and my Outlook will then not open. I have repaired it many times, but only by deleting my MS Office, then re-installing from the original download. This, of course, times a long time. it should not happen.

I have done the full 'clean-up' using the MS tools, when deleting MS Office, but hat can have made no difference, as the crashes still happen. This started a year or so ago, and can occur after just a few days following a re-install, or 2-3 weeks later.

 

What on earth can I do to get a 'good' MS Outlook?

What MS Tools have been used in any clean-up?

An in-place repair is done in this way, no download required;

Restart the PC, once fully loaded, repair Office,> Apps & Features>Select Office your version>Modify/Repair, once the repair completes re-test

If after a repair the problem persists, then restart the PC, once fully loaded, hold the Ctrl Key when starting OL to force safe mode, what then?

 
 

 

 

Did this reply solve your problem?

Yes No

Tried all of that many times, except the last paragraph - 'safe mode'.

I have it going at the moment. Had to uninstall Office, then run the MS Cleanup Tool, which took out all the bits of previous versions. I then re-installed from my original download.

Thanks for your advice. The next time Outlook crashes I'll try the 'safe mode' thing. Hope I don't have to though.

It happened again yesterday, not even a week after the last CRASH.

But this time something even more worrying occurred: my MS Office had GONE!

I went to my MS office download and re-installed it, and things came back, but I have done that countless times.

A repair/reinstall does not cure my PROBLEM.

 

Is there someone from MS who can respond to this PROBLEM, please?

    Hello timwilbers,

     

    Can you provide us with the version number/update channel you're using? You can find this by going to File>Office Account in Outlook. You should see an About Outlook section with the version number and channel right below that.

     

    Thanks,

    Evan
