If Outlook is not opening after a restart, it could be due to issues like a corrupted Outlook profile, damaged PST file, incompatible add-ins, or faulty updates. A manual process to fix this includes launching Outlook in Safe Mode by pressing Windows + R, typing outlook.exe /safe, and disabling unnecessary add-ins under File > Options > Add-ins. You can also try creating a new Outlook profile via Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles, then set it as default. However, these manual methods can be time-consuming, technically complex, and might not fix severely corrupted PST files.
To simplify the process, the Cigati Outlook PST Repair Tool offers a user-friendly solution. This professional utility can repair highly damaged PST files and recover complete mailbox data including emails, contacts, calendars, and tasks. It supports previewing recovered data and saving it in multiple formats like PST, EML, MSG, and others. Ideal for both technical and non-technical users, this tool ensures a faster, more reliable recovery without data loss—making it an efficient alternative to manual troubleshooting when Outlook fails to open post-restart.
