Hi @Venkata Harshavardhan Karri ,

Welcome to our forum!

Please refer to the following steps and try to change the registry:

1.Select Start, select Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then select OK.

2.Locate and then select the registry subkey:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Security

3.Right click>New, create the below registry:

Value Name: EnableUnsafeClientMailRules

Value Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

4.Restart Outlook.

(Note: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before making changes, back up the registry to restore it in case something goes wrong.)

Then “Run a script" will be displayed under the Select actions when you create rules.

Hope the above help!
