    Try opening Word and click File, Account, Update Options, Update Now. Make sure you have the latest Office updates.

    In case it's a corrupt profile try creating a new Outlook Profile, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-an-outlook-profile-f544c1ba-3352-4b3b-be0b-8d42a540459d. When you start Outlook you can hold down the Shift key to switch between profiles or see what profiles you have.

    If you cannot get far enough to create a new profile try creating a blank profile.

    1. Right click the Windows Start button and click Run
    2. Type the command below and press enter to create a blank profile
      outlook.exe /pim blankprofile
      

    You can always start Outlook by holding down the Shift key to switch between profiles.
