Why Can't Open Outlook - No Access To Address Book
Sep 20, 2015
I can access my email account and read and send emails in "mail for windows 10" but I cannot open Outlook and manage other aspects of my account such a set up mailing lists and access my address book etc.
My computer was updated early hours this morning, 13 December, but I notice now that my address book in my email Outlook is missing. How do I get it back? I presume it must still be there, somewhere!!
When opening my address book in Word 2007 to copy in an address, I get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.."
This has worked repeatedly in the past. I have no problem using the address book in Outlook and Outlook is the default mail client.
I recently installed the free upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10, but cannot remember if the last time my address book worked correctly was before or after I upgraded.
After I install cumulative security update 911567 for Outlook Express when i try to open it Address Book I receive an error message that resembles the following: Unable to open Address book. Address book may not be installed correctly
If I switch from Windows 10 Mail to Windows Live Mail, will that restore direct access to my address book contacts? Or would Thunderbird do it? I'm getting tired of W10 mail's cumbersome process for addressing emails
Since build 10166 I can not open Outlook 2010 on my PC. I am getting the message that I do not have permission to open the folders. I can get it to open if I open as admin but that has limited functionality.
I have checked the folders properties and there is nothing in there that has changed.
When I look at "My accounts" in Outlook, it`s showing wrong e-mail address in the title. It shows my xxxx@gmail.com, but when I send mail from this account, it`s being sent from the right account xxx@outlook.com. I`m also signed in with my Outlook.com account on Windows.
Outlook Express worked fine a couple of days ago. This morning it won't open, I do not have office 365, and all the questions I've seen about Outlook not opening relate to Office. Why is Outlook not opening.
This is the error message I'm getting; "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The of folders cannot be opened. The operation failed".
I have tried the following;
- Running outlook.exe /resetnavpane
- I have ran the SCANPST.EXE program.
- I have also COMPLETELY uninstalled Office (using REVO Uninstaller, which removes registry entries also) and reinstalled it.
What happens now, after a fresh install, is that Outlook just will not open. It's looking for a PST file, and if I point it to any of the 3x PST files I had before this issue it gives the error as above. So why should a clean install not have a PST file?

I reinstalled my Office 2007 programs back on my computer after updating to Windows 10. The only problem I am having is that Outlook won't open the default browser (IE11) when a link is clicked. Instead, it pops up a box that asks me what I want to use to open and , even if I select IE as the app and check the box that says always use this app, it doesn't "remember". I've set IE as the default browser, both in Outlook and as the default browser in Control Panel. Anything else I can do to make it open link with IE instead of Edge?
Since I installed Win10 I cannot open the calendar section in Outlook 2013. I get the following message: This set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened.
Windows 10 worked great after initial download and installation. After 10 days, started seeing long delays in accessing the internet which I attributed to CHARTER (TV, phone, and internet). Now, when I try to open Edge, I get an error message:
Windows 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Explorer.EXE
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can still open my eMail (Yahoo! Mail) through the Explorer logo in the Startup Box, but when I click on links in an eMail message, nothing happens.
When I click to open Edge, the screen shows a quick white outline of the Edge (large Blue box), then disappears!
The Internet must still be working...my eMail messages are updated as usual, and I am receiving all the Windows 10 Updates as indicated in Settings.
I have read other threads on Win10 freezing after upgrades but they are very different than what I am experiencing. Just got the Surface Book this morning. It is the i7, 256 Gb hard drive, 8 Gb ram version. Without installing anything the system randomly freezes. Does it more often if using the stylus. The only way to recover is a hard reboot. I turned off BitLocker and reduced it from every few minutes to maybe 1x per hour. Looks completely random. I also changed to local login and appeared to reduce it more. Can actually use the stylus some now. I have downloaded all the updates. After reading all the problems with Win10 freezing I am wondering if it is an OS bug and not a hardware problem. It has me seriously considering taking this back to the store. I am going to try turning the blue tooth off and try it that way but without the stylus this laptop is not worth the 2400 to me.
I have downloaded windows 10 Home Insider Preview Single Language Evaluation Copy Build 10074. i am unable to open my start button. Which I am unable to access any of my applications.
I bought a new asus transformer flip book and have just installed Windows 10 and my touchpad doesnt work correctly. When i click on something it doesnt react at all.
I was tinkering with the security settings of Local Disk (C: ) so that I get full access to it so as to delete unwanted files. I tried but accidentally now the local disk doesn't have an owner. So I can't access Administrator (cmd). When I try and access those settings to define an owner, it shows 'Access is denied.'. I tried working in safe mode but safe mode won't open. I tried resetting windows 10 both ways (keeping and deleting all files) but it says 'resetting failed.'. I cannot access Local disk (C: ) and cannot opens programs related to it like notepad, task manager, etc.
I have pinned "Recent Places" folder (%USERPROFILE%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecent) and this folder shows in explorer windows in Quick Access area. This is OK.
But why this folder disappears from Quick Access aren in open / save dialogs in all applications?
Every other pinned items show up in both explorer windows and open/save dialogs...
I have upgraded(?) from W8.1 to W10. I have a strange issue where I can't copy or open WAV file type files on SD or CF external cards. I have tried other file types and they open and copy ok. I am thinking this is something to do with windows file permissions but I am unsure where to find this to make the needed changes.
I get this message when I try:
"File Access Denied. You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file" ...
Windows 10 is great and all but I've come across a really annoying issue: [URL] ....
For whatever reason, there's a lot of graphical glitching/lag while using Chrome, and only really in the address box. What's strange is I've reinstalled Chrome, reinstalled my AMD Radeon R9 280X drivers, and then gave up and tried using Chromium (which works but has weird graphical glitches on the web pages sometimes).
Microsoft Edge works fine and Chrome's web page rendering is also fine. How to fix this?
I got an email from someone I have several addresses for, with the Mail client showing just the name of the sender, not the address the mail was sent from. I want to reply to a specific address, but also to know which address the email came from in the first place. In Live Mail I could check the email details and get lots of info about the email, including what address it was sent from.
