As it says on the tin. Every time I try to shut down my PC, Windows asks if it can close off multiple instances of OUTLOOK.EXE for me. I don't know why it does this or why there are multiple instances of Outlook running in the background. Some help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hi very weird,
Right click your Taskbar on a blank space,
Click on Start task manager
You should open into the Applications section please post a screen shot use the link above my signature if you need assistance in doing this,
Then go to the processes section and repeat,
Cheers.
You may be starting more than one instance while booting. To check what is starting use "power tool". Download zip file here and extract. No install required.
https://code.google.com/p/powertool-...downloads/list
You can get the 32bit or 64bit here.
Once you get power tool started click on the startup tab and check what you are starting.
Hi thanks for the screen shots,
You seem to have 5 open Chrome tabs as well,
You may have done the screen shots which you were still browsing,
Close chrome/ all tabs
Then double check using task manager on if there's still open chrome.exe and outlook.exe Processes,
You also have an open .doc file,
I can see why Paint was open to access the screen shots
In Chrome after double checking,
Change this Advanced setting,
Cheers.
All instances of Chrome.exe were gone when I closed Google Chrome, but OUTLOOK.EXE was still there, even when I closed it. Oh yes, and I unchecked that box for you.Hi thanks for the screen shots,

Hi thanks,
Which version of Office do you have installed ?
So no more OneNote.exe and all chrome.exe processes were gone from task manager ?
No word.exe either ?
Hi thanks for the information,
Click Start and type in the search box,
msconfig
Click on the suggestion on top or hit the Enter key,
Go to the Startup section and take some screen shots for a complete list,
Go to the Services section and on the bottom left Check the box to Hide All Microsoft services,
Repeat the screen shots,
See the links above my signature on how to take and upload screen shots here,
Also try cleanboot,

Cheers.
