Outlook+exe+remains+in+Memory+and+Task+Manager


 * Outlook exe remains in Memory and Task Manager **

Outlook.exe remains in memory even after closing

Scenario 1: Caused by Add-ins

I would suggest using OfficeIns to disable the add-ins because it is much easier than disabling the add-ins from the Add-in Manager of Outlook.

You can download OfficeIns from Nirsoft. []

Close Outlook. Make sure it is not running in the Task Manager. Then open OfficeIns. Select the Add-in That may be causing the problem and Right Click on it. You will find an option called “**Change Start Mode**” and select **Disabled and the Select** “Change Connect Mode” and select **No.** Once you disable the add-in, the open Outlook and test it.

If it does works then contact the software vendor and see what is causing it.

Scenario 2:

The second scenario is when using Team Viewer. There maybe no add-ins enabled. Installed Process Explorer and selected “Outlook.exe” then go to “View” menu and selected “Show Lower Pane”.

[]

Go through each of the Handles from the list, and if you find no “Team Viewer” related files there. And no add-ins in Outlook. You may then I notice this handle had been placed near the minimize button.





Go to “MSCONFIG” and disabled Team Viewer from “Startup” and “Services” and then rebooted the system.

Open Outlook, wait a few minutes and close it. Hopefully it will no longer be showing up in the Task Manager.
