    If Outlook 2013 is asking for Office repair, run an Office repair from Windows.

    1. Close Outlook and any other Office apps.
    2. Open the repair tool:
      • Windows 11: Right-click Start > Installed apps.
      • Windows 10: Right-click Start > Apps and Features.
      • Or open Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    3. Find Microsoft Office 2013 or the installed Office product.
    4. Select it, then choose Modify or Change.
    5. If prompted for repair type:
      • Start with Quick Repair if available.
      • If Outlook still does not open, run Online Repair. This is more complete and can fix corrupted Office files.
      • For MSI-based installs, select Repair and then Continue.
    6. Follow the on-screen steps.
    7. Restart the computer if prompted, then try opening Outlook again.

    If Outlook still does not open after repairing Office:

    • Start Outlook in Safe Mode: press Windows + R, type outlook /safe, then select OK.
    • If Outlook freezes or still fails, repair Outlook data files by using the Inbox Repair Tool: Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost).

    Hi, @Praful Naik personal

    May I know what troubleshooting steps have you already taken?

    Have you tried manual repair instead? If you haven't tried it yet, please follow the steps below.

    If you haven't tried anything yet please start by:

    First, please check if your Microsoft 365 is active or if your Office license is listed. You can do this by signing in at https://account.microsoft.com/services if the subscription is active or if your Office license is listed, try these steps:

    Repair Office apps:

    • Press Windows + R, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
    • Find Microsoft 365 or Office in the list, select it, then choose Change > Quick Repair.
    • If that doesn’t help, run the repair again but select Online Repair instead.

    Check for updates:

    • Open any Office app (if it opens even briefly), go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
    • Restart your device after repair and try opening the apps again.

    If the apps still don’t open, please let me know if you’re using Microsoft 365 or a one-time purchase version (like Office 2021), so I can guide you with the next specific steps.

    Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Thanks!
