Outlook freezes on start up and various time after start up

I am asked if I want to restart or close. If I do either it does not improve the situation. If I run Google email it seems to run without shutting down although it doesn't have the features I would normally expect and I therefore want Outlook running properly.

    Hi! Let me help you with this issue.

    Can you please try running Outlook.exe /safe from the Start menu?

    If it works without fail, you may need to remove Outlook add-ins.

    Please try running a Quick Repair.

    Press Win + R

    Type:

    appwiz.cpl

    Press Enter

    Select Microsoft 365 / Office

    Click Change

    Choose Quick Repair

    Click Repair

    Restart your PC when finished
