However, not all of these solutions are recommended to users by experts. Still, we are mentioning all three solutions below for users to fix Outlook not opening PST file issues. Users can select any of these solutions without any hassles at all.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\r\n<li><b>Closing All the Running Programs &amp; Processes<\/b><\/li>\r\n<li><b>Opening Microsoft Outlook Application Securely<\/b><\/li>\r\n<li><b>The Inbox Repair Tool to Get Rid of All the Errors<\/b><\/li>\r\n<li><b>Automated Tool to fix Cannot Open PST File Issue<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Users can select all of these solutions based on their requirements. Make sure to go for the automated solution to reduce errors as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3>Close All Running Programs and Processes<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As per the error recommendation, users must search and close all the applications that might have access to the PST file and thus, preventing MS Outlook from accessing the same. To search out if any Microsoft Outlook-related procedures are running in the backend and to end them, follow these steps.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Users should seek and close any programs that could have access to the PST file, as instructed by the error, to stop MS Outlook from accessing it. Follow these procedures to check if any Microsoft Outlook-related processes are running in the backend and to stop them.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Right hit<\/strong> on the taskbar area and hit on<strong> task manager<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Hit on more details and then go to the <strong>processes<\/strong> tab<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Now search the procedure by the <strong>name Outlook communicator Lync UCMAPI<\/strong> and end them all.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To end them easily <strong>hit<\/strong> on the process and then hit the <strong>end task<\/strong> button.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Exit<\/strong> task manager and <strong>restart<\/strong> Outlook<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><strong><em>Also Read:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwarepro.org\/blog\/how-to-show-hidden-emails-in-ms-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Show All the Emails in Outlook<\/a> Email Client<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<h3>Method 2: Open MS Outlook in Secure Way<\/h3>\r\n<p>By opening MS Outlook in safe mode, users can find if the problem is caused by a few faulty add-ins. If MS Outlook opens in a secure mode without any hiccups, users must uninstall the third-party add-ins from Outlook while running in safe mode.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>To <strong>open<\/strong> Outlook in safe <strong>mode,<\/strong> close MS Outlook and then press <strong>Windows + R<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li>Type <strong>outlook.exe \/ safe<\/strong> and press \u2018<strong>Enter<\/strong>\u2019<\/li>\r\n<li>If the error disappears, go to <strong>File&gt;Options&gt;Add-ins and disable all add-ins<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li>Then launch Outlook. <strong>Start<\/strong> enabling add-ins one by one to spot the faulty one<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Fix PST File Issues With Inbox Repair Tool<\/h3>\r\n<p>If the above-mentioned workaround fails to fix this Outlook PST file error. Then, there could be an issue with the PST file itself. As discussed earlier, a PST file may be damaged because Microsoft Outlook has ceased operating. PST is an Outlook data file that can be damaged for many causes and holds all data including contacts, notes, journals, calendars, attachments, and so on. However, the Outlook utility program i.e. ScanPST.EXE can restore corrupt PST files.<\/p>\r\n<p>When minimal PST corruption exists, users can use this inbox utility application. Let\u2019s see how this instrument functions.<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Search the \u201c<strong>Scanpst<\/strong>\u201d option for Windows Explorer. Then pick a corrupted file by clicking the <strong>navigation<\/strong> button.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then select a corrupted file by clicking the <strong>browse<\/strong> button.<\/li>\r\n<li>Click on the \u2018<strong>Start<\/strong>\u2019 button after <strong>browsing<\/strong> the file. The process of scanning will start.<\/li>\r\n<li>Then, to start the repair procedure, press the \u2018<strong>Repair<\/strong>\u2019 button.<\/li>\r\n<li>Finally, <strong>restart<\/strong> Outlook and see if it works.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><b>Manual Method Drawbacks to Fix Outlook PST File Cannot Be Opened Error<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a reason why these manual methods are not the first choice of users as well as experts. This reason is the presence of drawbacks in the manual solution. Users must make sure that they are aware of these shortcomings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Inefficient Solution: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If users try to fix the cannot open PST file error using these manual solutions, they might feel it\u2019s inefficient. This is because the manual solutions are quite time-consuming due to long procedures &amp; complex steps.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Lack of Advanced Features: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The manual solution is not that advanced &amp; this is why users face several issues here. Repairing the files &amp; fixing the errors is very rigid through these methods. Either the user should switch to a different solution or wait for a massive update.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Risk of Data Loss: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Users are even prone to lose their PST files. This is because the manual solution might end up corrupting the files or even losing them. Users must take a complete backup before executing any operation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>No Guaranteed Results: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no surety for users to get the desired results after they attempt to solve the PST file cannot be opened issue. This is because the manual solutions are uncertain &amp; users can fail due to changes in several factors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Other Shortcomings: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Users often require the assistance of Outlook experts to get their problems solved. Not all users are proficient enough in Outlook technicalities.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no feature to protect the data integrity along with several other drawbacks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4>Fix Outlook Data File Cannot be Opened Error With Reliable Tool<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One should take note not to manually try to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwarepro.org\/blog\/repair-outlook-data-files\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repair Outlook Data File<\/a><\/strong>. Because you might corrupt the whole system. This can lost all your valuable data.
