- Right-click on the listing, and select Open File Location
- This will take you to a location where a shortcut to the original outlook will be listed
- Right-click on it, and select Properties.
- Under the Shortcut tab, click on the Open File Location button
- It will open the location for Outlook.exe in File Explorer.
Since I am using Office 365, the folder is named Office16. If you are using an earlier version, this can change.
If you can find Outlook.exe at this location, but you do not see it appear in the Start menu, we suggest you repair Office using the official tool. This will fix any shortcut or registry issue you are facing while trying to find the Microsoft Office Outlook program executable file.
