Reinstall the free new Outlook for Windows from Microsoft Store; you do not need to reinstall the Microsoft 365 desktop suite.
Reinstall new Outlook
- Open Start and select Microsoft Store.
- Search for Outlook for Windows.
- Select the app published by Microsoft Corporation.
- Select Get or Install. If the button says Open, Outlook is already installed.
- Open Outlook and follow the prompts to add your email account if it is not restored automatically. ^1^
New Outlook requires Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later and an internet connection. ^2^
Microsoft 365 Basic is not the package used to reinstall this app: new Outlook is a separate Windows Store app, rather than classic Outlook installed as part of an Office desktop suite. ^3^
If Microsoft Store installation fails
Open Windows Terminal:
- Press Windows+X.
- Select Terminal.
- Run:
winget install -i -e --id=9NRX63209R7B --source=msstore --accept-package-agreements
This installs the Microsoft Store version of new Outlook. ^4^
After installation, search the Start menu for Outlook (new), launch it, and sign in with the email account you want to use.
