Outlook 365 In Office 365

[Curious]

Bom dia,
Já aconteceu 2 vezes uma situação que nunca aconteceu com aplicação nenhuma.
Quando pulso no "X" ou faço "Arquivo > Sair" o Outlook não fecha e fica sempre na mesma página.
Para resolver o problema tenho que fazer "ALT+CTRL+DELETE" para encerrar uma tarefa.
Não é suficiente.

Tenho:
Windows 11 Home Version 24H2, Os Build 26100.4202
Office 365 Version 2505, (Build 18827.20128 Click-to-Run)

Hello! Thanks for the detailed explanation and version info—very helpful.
The issue you're describing (Outlook 365 refusing to close even when using the "X" or "File > Exit," requiring Task Manager to force-close it) can occur for several reasons, particularly with modern Outlook/Office and Windows builds. Here are some causes and solutions to try:

---

Common Causes​

1. Add-ins or Extensions
   Faulty or outdated add-ins can prevent Outlook from shutting down properly.
2. Background Processes
   Sometimes, Outlook waits for background processes (like sync or indexing) to finish, which causes a hang.
3. Corrupted Outlook Profile
   A damaged profile can create strange behavior on exit.
4. Other Integration Issues
   Sometimes antivirus, sync tools (like OneDrive), or other integrations hang Outlook.

Things to Try​

1. Safe Mode Test​

Open Outlook in Safe Mode by holding Ctrl while launching Outlook, or run:
outlook.exe /safe
Try closing Outlook in Safe Mode. If it closes normally, an add-in is likely causing the problem.

2. Disable Add-Ins​

• Go to File > Options > Add-Ins
• Click Go... next to "Manage COM Add-ins"
• Uncheck all, restart Outlook, then enable one by one to find the culprit.

3. Repair Office​

• Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps
• Find Microsoft Office, select it, and choose "Modify" > "Quick Repair" (or "Online Repair" for a deeper fix).

4. Create a New Outlook Profile​

• Open Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles
• Add a new profile and set it as default. Test if Outlook closes properly with the new profile.

5. Check Background Processes​

• Ensure all Outlook-related processes are closed in Task Manager (sometimes others like Teams or Skype can keep it alive).
• Also check if sync processes or integrations are running.

6. Windows & Office Updates​

• Sometimes, these glitches are fixed with updates. Make sure both Windows and Office are fully up to date.

If It Still Won't Close​

• Check if any error messages or sync errors are displaying at the bottom bar of Outlook.
• Sometimes, logging out or restarting the computer temporarily resolves issues with stuck processes.

If you’ve tried these steps and it still happens, please let me know:

• If it happens every time or only sometimes
• If it occurs after a particular action (sending email, opening calendar, etc.)
• If you notice specific processes in Task Manager refusing to close

Happy to help you troubleshoot further!
