Re: Outlook - cannot add Google G Suite account - javascript disabled?
Kalipsso This is a problem local to the PC and software trying to add the account. It is explained earlier in this thread, as well as the registry settings that need to be changed to for e the correct browser emulation. There is also a registry patch file to make the changes for you. Please look through this thread to find them.

billyjdoesoz I'll repeat my earlier post to this group: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/374439/cannot-add-gmail-to-outlook-this-browser-or-app-ma.html alexpawlak · Jul 12 2021 at 7:19 PM For me what helped was adding the following registry key to force Browser Emulation (compatibility mode) to IE 11 which supports Google sign in HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION Name: OUTLOOK.EXE Value: 11000 (DWORD, decimal) And to be on safe side, just adding these to sysWOW64 for 32bit emulation, + HKCU nodes for per-user experience. Worked! 🙂 I created a .reg file to carry out these changes. Create a Restore point -or- Back up the registry (RegEdit --> File --> export). Right click on your desktop and create a new text file. Copy/paste the text between the lines below:- ___________________________________________________ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION] "Outlook.exe"=dword:00002af8 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION] "Outlook.exe"=dword:00002af8 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION] "OUTLOOK.EXE"=dword:00002af8 ___________________________________________________ Save the text file to your Desktop as "Gmail_fix.reg" Right-click on this file and run as Administrator Reboot Test by creating a Gmail account in Outlook Post here with the result of the test. Good luck!9.7KViews1like9CommentsRe: Outlook - cannot add Google G Suite account - javascript disabled?
John_AmptjohnA II don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Try it and if it doesn't work for you, back the changes out. Try the Current User change first, as one user reported that change only worked for him.21KViews0likes1CommentRe: Outlook - cannot add Google G Suite account - javascript disabled?
I’m glad I helped someone! The single registry key edit didn’t work for me the first time - I needed to edit syswow and Current User keys as well, as specified in the posted link article. But it proves where the problem lies and some or all of the steps required to resolve it! ☺️22KViews0likes1CommentRe: Outlook - cannot add Google G Suite account - javascript disabled?
skiingscot Not at all! The JavaScript error is because Outlook uses some sort of embedded browser variant which the user has not control over * - yes/no to JavaScript The reg tweaks force a version of browser where JavaScript will work. Read the thread link that’s I posted. It worked for me after 2days of trying and testing fixes. I was so glad to get it resolved I thought I’d share, to save others the time. jm22KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Outlook - cannot add Google G Suite account - javascript disabled?
NikolayI I had this problem with a client's account. I found this fix which worked for me: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/374439/cannot-add-gmail-to-outlook-this-browser-or-app-ma.html 3 x registry setting changes. I made a batch file to fix it for others. HTH John39KViews0likes13Comments
