Outlook 365 suddenly won't open
Hello; Outlook worked this morning, now it won't open, says to open in Safe Mode, but that doesn't work, tries to open for 5 seconds than nothing. Restarted PC and no help. Please advise! Steven F 603
Steven F, original poster here: my Outlook just fixed @ 1:20 Pm pst, I tried it and it opened right up. Hope the same for all of you, maybe 1 at a time! Thanks all.......

Has there been any update to this issue? I had uninstalled Office 365 and reinstalled it , Same thing, outlook wont open even in safe mode. But yet Word opens fine with my options and all. So to me it seems like an issue with an update with Outlook maybe?
Steven_F_603 I have the same problem as others. I was able to open in "Safe Mode." You have to manually approve loading of pictures. At least there is access until they get it fixed.
Mismo problema en Chile, tengo varios clientes con diferentes servicios de office y outlook tanto OWA como aplicacion de escritorio no funcionan, la de escritorio se abre y se cierra sola.Steven_F_603
Steven_F_603 I am in the same boat I disabled addins, no luck, I was hoping I could uninstall the latest O365 update, but the control panel app just uninstalled O365 completely, I am going to reinstall and see what happens. All after last night's update.

Outlook 2016 as well. Slightly different behavior than Outlook 365 (which is also failing to open except in safe mode.) Outlook 2016 opens, and then closes automatically.- Same issue with Outlook 2016.
Steven_F_603 I also had the Windwos Updates this morning and my Outlook 365 wouldn't open since. It did open in Safe Mode (Outlook.exe /safe). I just did a System Restore from earlier this morning, from the restore point before the installation of these updates and now my Otlook open fine. Just to be sure, I stopped Windows Update for 5 days.
Same issue here - I've tried Office repair 3x - rebooted. This occurred after recent Windows update last night.
Steven_F_603 Same here. And with a friend in the same building who just came to me for help. Seems it's a problem your end cos it was fine this morning, now we all have it...
Fidofelix l have the same issue, after downloading the latest updates.
Steven_F_603 there is currently a service incidence regarding that.you can access your mailbox on the web and on your mobile Outlook client while it is been resolved
Ardamilola Until such time as Outlook is fixed, how do I access my calendar? I don't have a mobile Outlook client.
Steve_Mendell you can browse to https://outlook.office.com/ to access Outlook on the web and navigated to the calendar icon at the bottom left as shown in below image
