I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 10 and all applications were working fine. Now the problem appeared with my Outlook 2007 PST file; it is not at all opening after Windows 10 upgrade. I imported PST file from another system, it opened fine without any conflicts. I don’t know what went wrong with my Outlook PST file. Anyway I need advice to overcome this problem. Thank you in advance for valuable time and answer.
Oops…! As other PST file is working fine on your Windows 10, it is better to check for compatibility issues. Once run latest Outlook version and check whether your PST file is opening without any glitches. Again if you find issues then the PST file might have got corrupted. This kind of behavior may trigger by improper Windows 10 upgrade. Hence, verify whether all drivers and necessary add-ins are installed properly.
If any of above approach does not work then don’t run Inbox Repair tool because it may lead to further damage to your PST file. So it is recommended to use third party tool, preferably Yodot Outlook PST Repair, to fix any kind of severe issues with your Outlook 2007 PST file.
