safe mode outlook 

Any suggestions on how to have the bot activate the 'No' option?

My code as follows, but it didn't work:

Any other suggestions appreciated.

 

code to handle outlook 

As I could not reproduce the same dialog box at will; I simulated it by pressing CTRL key to generate a similar dialog box and tested the same logic, which works fine on my local machine, but that part of code did not work in production.

Hi @Huang Kaijin​ ,

 

The error means that Outlook could not open properly i.e., loading profile, addons, and configuration files failed. Checkout below blogs for resolution

Hi All,

I had to change the behaviour of the bot; i left Outlook open while the bot runs. It does not intefere with the bot operation.
