You start Microsoft Outlook 2016, and it hangs at the Processing stage on the startup screen. Outlook never fully starts.

Office 2016 deployment tool (ODT) is a command-line tool used to install Microsoft Office. The biggest reason to use this tool is the flexibility you get while installing any Office product. With this tool, you can change configuration settings to meet your preferences. Recognizing that “stuff” happens, Microsoft offers an Office Repair utility. Because Word 2016 is a part of the Office suite of programs, the Office Repair utility works to fix anything horrifically wrong with Word. Obey these steps: Close Word and any other Office programs. You should do so now; otherwise, you’ll be asked to do.

Resolution

This issue was fixed in the following updates:

Office build 16.0.7369.2015 for Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions.
March 2017 update for Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016.

Workaround Method 1 - Manually configure Outlook 2016 to always run maximized

Exit Outlook 2016.
Determine which icon you use to start Outlook, and access the Properties for that shortcut:
- Icon on the Desktop
  - Right-click the Outlook icon on the Desktop, and then select Properties.
- Icon pinned to the taskbar
  1. Right-click the Outlook icon on the taskbar, right-click Outlook 2016, and then select Properties.
- Icon pinned to the Start menu
  1. Right-click the Outlook tile pinned to the Start menu, point to More, and then select Open file location.
  2. Right-click Outlook 2016 in the File Explorer window that opens, and then select Properties.
In the Outlook 2016 Properties dialog box, select Maximized for Run.
Select OK.

Workaround Method 2 - Use Group Policy to configure Outlook 2016 to always run maximized

Start the Group Policy Management Console.
Note
Because you may be applying the policy setting to an organizational unit and not to the whole domain, the steps may also vary in this aspect of applying a policy setting. Therefore, check your Windows documentation for more information.
In the Group Policy Management Console, under User Configuration, expand Preferences, expand Windows Settings, and then select Shortcuts.

Create a new shortcut with the following properties:

Name: Outlook 2016
Location: All Users Desktop
Target path: <path of Outlook.exe>
Arguments: /recycle
Start in: <path of Outlook.exe>
Run: Maximized
Icon file path: <path of Outlook.exe>

Note

The path of Outlook.exe may vary, depending on the Office installation type and bitness of Windows and Office, as follows.

Office installation type	Bitness of Windows and Office	Default path of Office
Click-to-Run	Same	C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16\|
Click-to-Run	Different	C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16\|
MSI	Same	C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice16\|
MSI	Different	C:Programs Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice16\|

Same Bitness: Office 32-bit running on Windows 32-bit or Office 64-bit running on Windows 64-bit
Different Bitness: Office 32-bit running on Windows 64-bit

Copy the shortcut that you created, and then paste it to duplicate it.
Double-click the shortcut that you pasted, and then change the Location to All Users Start Menu. Select OK.
Copy the shortcut that you created, and then paste it to duplicate it.
Double-click the shortcut that you pasted, and then change the Location to All Users Programs. Select OK.

Note

If a user has an Outlook 2016 shortcut pinned to their taskbar, this will not replace it. The user can unpin the shortcut from their taskbar and then re-pin it from one of the other locations after the policy is in effect.
