Windows 10: Windows 10 upgrade... Outlook 2010 not working.

Based on a couple of other posts in this thread, I had done that, too. I realized I better be sure that if any folder popped up with an error about not being able to make the change, I better write down the folder name, because I'm not sure where you could find a list of them. There were about four or five folders that I had to do individually. I couldn't just take care of it at the top users level.

From a user end, I don't know what the Big Deal is about Windows 10. From the Microsoft point of view I understand their reconfiguring how they deliver operating system software.

Mine started working several days back but I ended up reloading the whole of outlook to get there. I have also at last got rid of the Microsoft password at the beginning which was driving me mad. The laptop is at home and nobody else uses it so it was just a hindrance.

 

Thank you so much for putting your information out on this forum. I had the same problem after Microsoft updated Windows 10 I just installed last week. Then the error message came on and I couldn't open Outlook at all. I tried some Google searches and found similar problems for Windows 7 and 8, but not 10. My first effort trying your method did not work, but the message I got changed (no longer an error)...so I knew something happened. I noticed that not all of the files had received permissions, so I backed up and went to Properties for the two Outlook "Folders" I had, which contained my Outlook.pst file, and the Archive.pst file. I had to change both as they are in separate folders. Then I tried again and everything worked perfectly.

No the real question, why did the Microsoft Upgrade cause the problem in the first place. I have had this computer 3 years and never had this problem until the upgrade.
