Windows 11 24H2 is known to have a bunch of issues with many applications και δυνατότητες, αναγκάζοντας τη Microsoft να σταματήσει την κυκλοφορία ενημερώσεων για επιλεγμένους users. After all this Outlook also joins the list of affected apps that don't work with Windows 11 24H2.
Outlook cannot start properly if the user has the Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GWSMO) on his computer.
Every attempt to open Outlook results in “Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot Open the Outlook Window.” The error is followed by the message “The set of folders cannot be opened. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable to load the information service".
Clearly, this is some problem that occurred with her last update, which violates its functionality Google workspace Sync. However, Google has already released a patch with the latest version (4.3.68.0) of the tool. Just install this version to fix Outlook startup problems on Windows 11 24H2.
GWSMO brings all your data from Google into the Outlook app, making it easy to manage all your events, notes, emails and more in Outlook. Microsoft on the other hand has implemented compatibility waiting, and you won't see the Windows 11 24H2 upgrade notification until you install the latest version of GWSMO.
Then you will have to wait up to 48 hours for the compatibility hold to be lifted and you will see the notification.
