Hi, thanks for coming into the forums. I'm also a user like you and will happily help you to the best of my knowledge.

If you encounter this issue on other Office 365 apps, please restart the PC and perform the repair at Windows settings > Apps & Features > Find Office > Modify > Quick Repair.

If the quick repair doesn't work, please choose online repair.

Hi @Conner Bauch ,

I understand that you're having trouble opening Outlook after upgrading to Windows 11. Is your Outlook program up to date? It could be that the older version is not compatible with your new operating system.

First, try restarting your computer and seeing if that helps. If that doesn't work, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook. Finally, you can check if the latest updates are available and install them if they are.

Besides, you can use the troubleshooting steps below to help resolve these startup issues: I can’t start Microsoft Outlook or receive the error “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window”

Thank you so much both of you for your enormous help. Actually after posting the thread here, I was very worried that how to solve the issue quickly and for that reason I started searching on Google and came across this useful guide https://www.thewindowsclub.com/outlook-not-working.

They also suggested the same as what you suggested here. But the first time I restarted my PC, but still the problem was happening. So I repaired the Office. Now I have no longer any issues while opening Outlook.

Anyway thank you again.
