Steps to Resolve Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook Issue:-
- Click Start>Run>type regedit and hit Enter. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBAB40-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}.
- Highlight the registry key and then locate the REG_DWORD values IsInstalled under Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and MailNews. If either of the values are set to 0, change them to 1. To do this, right click on the REG_DWORD values and select Modify. In the Value Data form field, enter 1 and click OK. Close out regedit and start Outlook.
- But wait! I have the registry key {44BBAB40-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C} but it's in a folder called Autoruns Disabled listed at the bottom of Installed Components. Good; this step applies to you then. Download and install the program Autoruns listed in the resources section (or if you ran Autoruns, run it again).
- Locate the file Autoruns.zip. Right-click the file and then click "Extract All..." and save the file in the default location. Click the "Extract" button. The Autoruns folder opens. Double-click Autoruns.exe. Click "Run." Now, locate the registry key mentioned in Step 1. Place a check next to each entry of Outlook. Close out of Autoruns and double-click on your Outlook icon to start Outlook.

When a Cannot Start Outlook error message appears, try running Microsoft Office Diagnosis, which would tell whether there are any errors in actuality..
