How to save my recently unsaved long msg from my frozen 2016 Outlook?
[W10, MS Outlook 2016, Lenovo laptop. I was told to remove any AVs but all I have now is Windows' Defender that came with my laptop]. As to Windows Version I have this in my email and I can't open it now......
Hello, I wrote a long message full of researched stuff so it's imperative for me to save it. Wen I finished this message I had to leave and...forgot to save it. On returning, Outlook was all frozen up as well as Word and I couldn't do anything at all.
In my desperation to save this long message, I searched and searched and I came across this answer by TenForums from last August 2021.
My question: If I apply this fix will it leave alone my message, or will it delete it?:
Repair Outlook. The Outlook application may be damaged. Use the built-in Microsoft Office repair utility to fix it.Or, should I try other ways that hopefully someone in this thread might offer? I anticipate my BIG THANK YOU for any help. I did learn my lesson to never leave unfinished messages without saving first, but for this particular case I beg you kind and knowledgeable souls to please help me get my message back? :)
