I recently purchased a new laptop running windows 11. Every time I seem to open outlook I keep on getting a pop-up window flashing on my screen. It is extremely annoying and it is blank (doesn't say anything) so I am not sure what the error is. I cannot locate outlook within control panel to uninstall and install a fresh copy. Restarting the application and/or computer also yields no results. Does anyone have some advice?
I'm having the same issue with my desktop at work. IT isn't sure how to repair it and said that they saw an advisory from Microsoft about a glitch with the desktop app. But this is really impacting my productivity.

Hi, I have the same issue on my outlook app but on a MacBook. blank window just flash popping in and out, even when I'm in the middle of writing an email, blocks everything and sends my email to draft.
Hello
i found a good solution
go to your windowns settings > accounts > access work or school
disconnect from you work accounts
its should stop blink after that and you will be able to type your password.
According to the screenshot you provided, since it is blank, I can't be sure what pop-up is. It is suggested that you could try to create a new profile(Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>add) and add the account for testing to check if there are some differences.

having the same problem. Only turns the Outlook window into a terrible strobe when a message with attachment is opened, or you try to insert an attachment yourself. Not suspicious attachments, ie. photos from my kids.
I also think it's related to storage. As before the strobing began, I was continually asked to 'Repair' a corrupted calendar file or .pst. Then the same thing happens with the same file a few days later.
I started using Google Calendar instead, and I paid for Outlook, while Google Calendar is free. Also, how do I delete that Calendar file altogether, I have no idea where it is. Thank you for any answers, this is completely maddening.
I've just started my laptop and found the same error. I shut down nearly all apps whilst trying to see my screen under the flashing empty window. If I had epilespy this could've triggered a fit, the window flashes every 2 seconds so is extremely disruptive. Task manager processes did not show any notifcation processes.
I can't uninstall Outlook as it's not listed as a seperate program as per the above screen shots. Those screen shots look how Outlook used to be before Office (M365 Subscription model). Mine is incorporated inside Microsoft Office so I'd have to uninstall the whole of Office. I don't want to uninstall all of my other Microsoft Office apps.
How is this useful and why is this error still happening a year after this original article? Office uninstall.jpg
However, when the Windows Security popup window was displayed, I entered my password and selected OK, the window would disappear, and about 30 seconds later the Windows Security popup window would be displayed again. Through trial-and-error I figured out this was likely due to me having enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): it appears to have accepted my password and failed on 2FA. I opened the Microsoft Authenticator app on my phone, then on my laptop in Outlook selected "Needs password", in the Windows Security popup I entered my password and selected OK (which failed again), and then the Microsoft Authenticator app displayed that I need to use an "app password" (for some app or device, but it doesn't say which app or device...), and displayed an app password to use. I typed that app password into Outlook's Windows Security popup, and it accepted the password.

This user experience totally sucked. It cost me about two hours of billable time, and judging from the thread there are others in the same situation. Enhanced security provides no value if people can't figure it out. I have 40 years of experience on Microsoft technology and am a former MVP and Regional Director: what is the causal user supposed to do? How do we get this feedback to the product team?
The "Accepted Answer" in this thread seems like it has solved the problem(s) for no one; why is it even considered an answer at all, other than to keep the reputation of the "moderator" artificially inflated? That doesn't help anyone experiencing the problem.
Stuart: "This user experience totally sucked." is exactly correct. This Microsoft Authenticator rollout has been a bit of a nightmare for me and one of my users on several levels, and this is just one. Thanks for posting your experience and solution, I will have to go learn more about Authenticator before getting comfortable w the procedures. What a time sink.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity, create a DWORD value named EnableADAL and set it to zero.
Under the same registry key, create a DWORD value named DisableADALatopWAMOverride and set it to 1
This worked to make the window stay open rather than just flashing. I then plugged in my passwords for 2 office 365 emails that kept asking but nothing worked. I looked all over for a solution, then finally hit "Cancel" and it stopped asking for a password! Hopefully it won't start asking again tomorrow!
In my case the rendered panel that is exposed was a Windows Defender panel requiring login credentials for two personal outlook accounts which I have in Outlook alongside my business Exchange account.
Thank you Narve Andreas Nords! You are my hero. I too worked in IT and now at home I lost some hrs on this crap from Microsoft, trying all my MS Office versions (2016, 2019)! I had the window popup literally every few seconds. That was torture! You saved me several gray hair. Your solution worked perfectly and as you described. Thank you sir.
I am having the same issue running Office 2019 but the flashing of the window opening and closing stops after a minute or so. The problem only started recently - not sure exactly when but about a week ago so may be related to an update. There are posts about a similar thing going back many years saying it has something to do with an office background task file but the file mentioned does not exist in my install folder.
The last time, I had to create a complete new Windows profile and start fresh. Now it's back always shows "Needs Password", quick blink of modern authentication window and no ability to enter password (which Windows knows of course).
My sister's laptop got done with the Windows 11 update a few days ago. The laptop came with a factory install of Windows 10 and MS Office Home & Student 2019. After the update for Windows 11, all of the Office apps have had some features disabled and they're reflecting as being "unlicensed". When we tried to troubleshoot the same by going to the activation page, it says that this Microsoft account already has an install reflecting against the account, and that we should transfer the license. However, it's not allowing us to do this activity. Please help!
Any luck with this? If anyone has some insight, please share. Same problem, same version of Office, same issue after upgrade. :( I was just told when I contacted support that I can only get feedback/help on the forums. Anything would be appreciated!
There you will find a Install button. It will direct you to the service and subscription of your account page. Click back to subscription, Scroll down. You'll find a appropriate version of Office that has already on your windows 10 device. Click install and start your productivity...
@Suwethan hi! Thank you for responding but when I click "install office" it only ask me to go premium with Microsoft 365. I just found out that I have both Microsoft 365 and office 2019 installed in my laptop. When I opened any office app it's unlicensed. I originally have windows 10 and pre-installed office 2019 before.
@catcarrot This is the first response that makes sense, but I gave up on MS Office when I got no support for a paid service from the vendor. My subscription has since expired and I'm on Google Drive with much better set up than I had previously - with the built in integration, I doubt I'll ever go back. Good luck!
Microsoft Office, or simply Office, is a family of client software, server software, and services developed by Microsoft. It was first announced by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for an office suite (bundled set of productivity applications), the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, Object Linking and Embedding data integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand.
Office is produced in several versions targeted towards different end-users and computing environments. The original, and most widely used version, is the desktop version, available for PCs running the Windows and macOS operating systems. Microsoft also maintains mobile apps for Android and iOS. Office on the web is a version of the software that runs within a web browser.
Since Office 2013, Microsoft has promoted Office 365 as the primary means of obtaining Microsoft Office: it allows the use of the software and other services on a subscription business model, and users receive feature updates to the software for the lifetime of the subscription, including new features and cloud computing integration that are not necessarily included in the "on-premises" releases of Office sold under conventional license terms. In 2017, revenue from Office 365 overtook conventional license sales. Microsoft also rebranded most of their standard Office 365 editions as "Microsoft 365" to reflect their inclusion of features and services beyond the core Microsoft Office suite.
