Accessing Outlook Emails After Upgrading to Windows 10 – Error 0x8004010F
Reader Question:
“I updated Windows 10 and saw this error in outlook. I can’t send emails either: Task *** Email address is removed for privacy *** – Sending’ reported error (0x8004010F): Outlook data file cannot be accessed.” – Michael R., United Kingdom
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
