I am and have been using Microsoft Office 2022 or 2023 I think and just today it tells me that Outlook cannot log on, verify I am connected to the network and check I am using the correct Microsoft Exchange Information Service, I am stumped. I have a powerful computer and nothing has changed since yesterday. I have updated office apps tonight but this still remains brokenScreenshot 2025-03-09 204156

    Hi @Duncan Allcoat ,

    From what I've searched, it may be related to client rules, it is recommended that you try clearing client rules to see if the problem will be solved: Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to bring up the Run utility. Type in outlook.exe /cleanrules and press.

    Besides, to eliminate the impact of profile corruption, it is recommended that you create a new Outlook Profile:

    • Open Control Panel and select Mail.
    • Click on Show Profiles and then Add to create a new profile.
    • Set the new profile as the default and see if the issue persists.

    If the issue continues, you can try the Support and Recovery Assistant: Microsoft offers a tool called the Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365, which can help diagnose and fix issues with Outlook.
