Outlook 2010 odd CMD prompts on startup

Topic

New Reply

I’ve never seen this one before, and Google is failing me.

Starting on April 22, 2020 when Outlook 2010 is opened (either from a clean close, or after a workstation restart = no difference) two CMD prompts with identical status open up and stick. They don’t close automatically and they don’t progress after they reach a point as shown.

Has anyone else seen this recently – on any version of Outlook?

This is on:

Windows 10 Pro 1809 x64 fully patched
Outlook 2010 – fully patched
Using Office 365 Exchange (no other email accounts)
And started right after patches were installed for April 2020.

I’m likely to find my answer eventually, but thought I might ask here in case anyone has already found and solved this problem.

TIA!

There are a couple of mentions of Redemption on the error lines there; an add-in library:

What is Outlook Redemption?

I suggest starting Outlook in safe mode (i.e. without add-ins) by holding Ctrl while clicking the shortcut, or running outlook.exe /safe

Starting Outlook in Safe Mode

My guess is that the command windows will not appear when add-ins are disabled.

P.S. I’m curious why you still use Outlook 2010 if you’re using Office 365
