Some of the scenarios in which you might want to use it include Outlook crashing unexpectedly, some functionality not working as expected, or you are unable to access your mailboxes and email.īasically, if Outlook doesn’t work as expected and starts working abnormally, then you should enable Safe Mode. If you have no problem with the application, you will never need to use Outlook Safe Mode. That way, if there are any problems with, say, third-party add-ons, they can be fixed and you can use the app to test solutions to those problems. In safe mode, when you open Outlook, only important files are downloaded to your computer. This is a mode in which you can open Outlook with certain restrictions as to what features you can use while it is active. Outlook Safe Mode is not a standalone application, tool, or anything like that. There are several ways to open Outlook in Safe Mode, and you can use this mode to start Outlook in a more controlled environment. You will be familiar with this type of mode if you have used any Microsoft products, as most of them have Safe Mode. If you have any problems with Outlook on your computer, it is best to try using Outlook Safe Mode.
