In the last few weeks i’ve had numerous errors on UiPath relating to connection to outlook (see below)

These only recently started and were never an issue originally and UiPath would connect to outlook without it being physcially open. Now it requires it to be open all the time.

I’ve updated all my processes with the latest packages and republished with this and UiPath Studio is upto date.

Any advice?

Error:

Could not connect to Outlook. Please try to run both programs as Administrator ( or not as Administrator).
If the error persists this might be due an corrupt Office installation. Please repair Office installation.

@Arron_Dobbins,

Have you tried repair Office installation? Office update could result in this issue.

  1. Did you update the software?
  2. Check if any policy changes happened which might effect
  3. Ideally it id better you kep outlook open…generally you can use start application at start of process to ensure outlook is open
