Start Outlook in safe mode
When you start Outlook in safe mode, many of the customizations that you have made to Outlook are not loaded. Instead, these settings are replaced temporarily by the default settings. Additionally, COM add-ins and Exchange Client Extensions are not loaded. This behavior reduces the number of dynamic-link libraries (DLL) that interact with Outlook and with your data.
To start Outlook in safe mode, use the /safe command-line switch. To determine whether you are running Outlook in safe mode, view the title bar of Outlook.
You may also see the following prompt when you restart Outlook after a crash:
Outlook failed to start correctly last time. Starting Outlook in safe mode
will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully start
the program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode.
Do you want to start Outlook in safe mode?
