classic outlook not showing imbedded images

Question

Classic outlook does not show imbedded images when it opens.

Answer 1

If Classic Outlook is not showing embedded images, it could be due to several reasons. One common cause is the setting that blocks HTTP images. If the BlockHTTPimages registry value is set to 1, images in email messages may not display correctly. You can check and modify this setting in the Windows Registry:

1. Exit Outlook.
2. Open Registry Editor by pressing Windows Key + R, typing regedit.exe, and pressing Enter.
3. Navigate to the following registry key:
   • Without Group Policy: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common
   • With Group Policy: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\policies\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common
4. Look for the BlockHTTPimages DWORD value. If it is set to 1, you can delete this key to allow images to display.
5. Confirm the deletion and exit the Registry Editor.

Additionally, ensure that your Internet Explorer settings do not prevent saving encrypted pages to disk, as this can also affect image display in Outlook.

If you are unable to change these settings due to Group Policy restrictions, you may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.

Answer 3

Hello,

Are you seeing a specific error where the images should be, like a red 'X', or just an empty white box? Also, is there a banner at the top of the message saying that pictures have been blocked to help protect your privacy?

Let me know as well if this happens with all emails or just some from external senders.
