Outlook: Enable/Disable Add-ins

Microsoft Outlook can use “Add-ins” (also called plug-ins) that add features to the email client. Some of them might be there without you even knowing it. While others may be needed to enhance the software. Learn how to enable or disable Outlook add-ins with these steps.

1. Open the Microsoft Outlook client.
2. Select “File” > “Options“.
   
3. Choose “Add-ins” on the left pane.
4. At the bottom of the window, ensure the “Manage” drop-down has “COM Add-ins” selected, then select the “Go…” button.
   
5. Check the Add-ins you wish to turn on. Uncheck the Add-ins you wish to turn off.
   If an Add-in you wish to use does not appear in the list, select the “Add…” button, then browse to the Add-in file and select it.
6. Select “OK” when you’re done.
