Run Outlook as Safe Mode

Run Outlook as Safe Mode


If Outlook worked correctly the last time and nothing has changed about your account configuration, then checking if things work correctly in Safe Mode is a good first step. Starting Outlook in Safe Mode will prevent some or all add-ins from being loaded, prevents several settings files from being loaded and turns off the Reading Pane.

To start Outlook in Safe Mode you’ll need to start Outlook with the “safe” switch;

Ms. Windows XP

    Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

Ms Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Start-> type; outlook.exe /safe

Ms Windows 8

    Start Screen-> type; outlook.exe /safe
(just start typing, a search box will automatically become visible)

When typing, please note the space between outlook.exe and /safe.
