This is a troubleshooting method or feature that allows users to start Outlook with minimal functions. There can be several instances when one needs to open Outlook:
What mean Safe Mode?
- There can be add-in issues. That is third-party add-ins can cause Outlook to crash or not perform as expected. When one opens Outlook in safe mode this ensures that the add-ins are disabled temporarily.
- Startup errors are another cause. If one’s computer or the Outlook program has start-up errors it can be due to corrupted files. In that case, it is best to open Outlook in safe mode.
- If there are bugs or malware in one’s operating system then it is best to open Outlook in safe mode. That helps reduce the chances that malware would interfere with Outlook. It also allows experts to investigate the program while Outlook works in safe mode.
