Do you find it annoying to open Microsoft Outlook every time you start your computer? We get it. That’s why we’re here to help you automatically open Outlook at startup. By doing this, you can save precious minutes and start your day more efficiently.

Depending on your version of Windows, there are a few ways to make this happen. If you’re on Windows 10 or 11, one of the simplest methods is to add a shortcut to the Startup folder. This can be done by opening the Run dialog (Windows Key + R), typing shell:startup, and pressing Enter. From there, just paste a shortcut of Outlook, and you’re good to go.
Another way to set it up is through the Startup Apps Settings. You just need to press Windows + I to open the Settings app, navigate to the Apps section, and find the Startup tab. Scroll through the list and toggle the switch for Outlook to enable it to launch at startup. This small setup ensures Outlook is always ready when you log on.
