Patch Lady – issue with Outlook

Posted on June 20, 2020 at 14:39 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

To those of you in the Ask woody forums that have been hitting this (see this and this ) read on..

A bug in the June updates is causing “Something is wrong with one of your data files and Outlook needs to close” as noted in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/something-is-wrong-with-one-of-your-data-files-and-outlook-needs-to-close-a3b59934-2446-4f2a-bd25-58f88188b9b2?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

To workaround the issue, follow that post:

Right Click the Windows Start button, and then choose Run.

In the Open box, type regedit, and then select OK.

In the left pane, expand Computer and then expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST

Under the PST key delete the registry keys below and then restart Outlook:

“LastCorruptStore”=”C:\\Users\\user.REDMOND\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Outlook\\look for your email address here

“PromptRepair”=dword:00000001

If that’s too much for you Diane Poremsky has an automatic registry fix download here.

This appears to be impacting those mostly with PST files.

Thanks to PK Cano for pointing me to those threads and to Diane Poremsky of slipstick.com
