Outlook keeps crashing or freezing on your Mac
Outlook crashes when its cache files are corrupted, an extension conflicts with it, or your Office version is outdated. Force quit it, update Office, clear the cache, and disable extensions. Most crashes are fixed in 10 minutes.
Outlook crashes when corrupted cache files, problematic add-ins, or an old Office version cause conflicts. The quickest fix is force quitting, updating Office, and clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, we'll disable extensions and re-add your email account. If nothing works after that, Office can need a clean reinstall.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Immediately uninstalling and reinstalling Office when just clearing cache would fix it
- Not waiting for Outlook to finish rebuilding after clearing cache
- Disabling an add-in but not restarting Outlook to test if it works
Signs you need professional help
- Outlook still crashes after updating, clearing cache, and disabling add-ins
- You don't know how to find the cache folder or aren't comfortable deleting files
- Office crashes only in Safe Mode but works normally — there's a software conflict on your Mac
