Calling #MicrosoftDisabilityAnswerDesk because when I exit out of Outlook it isn't fully exiting and can still be seen in task manager and thus won't reopen fun for a Wednesday night.
You know, I remember recently hearing someone else having that problem with Outlook but I never found out what they did, if anything, to resolve it. Please, let us know what they tell you when you call them as I'm curious.
@DavidGoldfield I have a vague memory of having it on another machine in the past and back then I feel like it had something to do with a corrupted Outlook Profile but that's all I recall. The man who helped me tonight didn't mention that. Perhaps it was beyond his knowledge base. So he escalated me and supposedly an escalation tech will call me on Friday afternoon to solve this as a quick repair of Office didn't solve the problem.
Robin, have you tried disabling (not removing) all of the Outlook addins to see if that solves your shutdown issue? Also, what antivirus or antimalware program are you using and does that program have an option to integrate with Outlook? If it does, try temporarily disabling that option annd then see if Outlook shuts down properly.
In case you haven't already seen this article, it may be worth reading. It's extremely detailed and much of it might not apply to your situation but, just in case .. slipstick.com/problems/outlook…
