Did the .pst file shut down incorrectly?

Categorized Under - Uncategorized

Sometimes when you start Outlook you receive these error messages:

Outlook cannot open the data file filename until it has been checked for problems

Microsoft Office Outlook’ exited without properly closing your Outlook data file ‘drive:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost’.‘Microsoft Office Outlook’ must be restarted. If this error message recurs, contact support for ‘Microsoft Office Outlook’ for assistance

The data file< filename> was not closed properly’. This file is being checked for problems

Reason behind occurrence of these error messages is improper shutdown of the PST file. You may face this issue till the time Microsoft completes the reconciliation process.

An incorrectly shut down .ost file or .pst file may occur for one of the following reasons:

Antivirus scanning of the file

Forced Microsoft Windows shutdown before the Outlook.exe process shuts down completely

Outlook add-ins

If you see this issue frequently, and you have to exit Outlook shortly before you shutdown your computer, it may be better to shut down Windows while Outlook is still running. We recommend that you do this instead of exiting Outlook and then shutting down Windows shortly after that.
