The PST file contains all of your messages, contacts, calendars, and other information. When the data structure or indexes of the PST are corrupted, Outlook cannot access it. This results in the error messages. These may look like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&ldquo;Error 0x80040116: Outlook data file cannot be accessed.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>&ldquo;Cannot start Microsoft Outlook.

To understand them better, take a deep look at the upcoming sections.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manually_Resolve_Outlookpst_Cannot_be_Accessed\"><\/span>Manually Resolve Outlook.pst Cannot be Accessed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Follow the methods below to know how you can resolve the PST inaccessible issue:<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Repair PST Using the SCANPST.exe<\/h4>\n<p>Outlook has a built-in repair tool that will help you with small PST file corruption. It&#8217;s called the <strong>Inbox Repair Tool (SCANPST.exe)<\/strong>. The steps to use it are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, <strong>close Outlook<\/strong> completely and find the <strong>SCANPST<\/strong> tool.<\/li>\n<li>You may usually locate it on Outlook 2021, 2019, 2016 at:<\/li>\n<p><strong>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\SCANPST.exe<\/strong><\/p>\n<li>Afterward, run the tool and browse your<strong> PST<\/strong> file. Click <strong>Open<\/strong> to load it.<\/li>\n<li>Next, click &#8220;<strong>Start<\/strong>&#8221; to begin scanning for corruption.<\/li>\n<li>For the issues found, click &#8220;<strong>Repair<\/strong>&#8221; when the scanning completes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If this doesn&rsquo;t fix error code 0x80040116, try the other simpler alternatives that may reduce your issue upto some extent.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Create a New PST and Set It Default<\/h4>\n<p>If your original PST cannot be repaired, you can try creating a new PST file and have it bypass the old PST. The steps are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In Outlook, click <strong>File &gt;&gt; Account Settings &gt;&gt; Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>On the Account Settings window, select &#8220;<strong>Data Files<\/strong>&#8221; and click &#8220;<strong>Add<\/strong>&#8221; to create a new <strong>PST<\/strong> file.<\/li>\n<li>Then, give it a name and click <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Further, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the creation of the <strong>new PST<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Afterward, set the newly created PST file as &#8220;<strong>default<\/strong>&#8221; and <strong>restart Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>At last, import your old PST (if possible); it should populate the new PST data file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Start Outlook in Safe Mode<\/h4>\n<p>Running Outlook in Safe Mode will disable any add-ins or customizations that may be causing the error. Try the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Initially, press <strong>Windows + R,<\/strong> then type <strong>outlook.exe \/safe<\/strong> to run Outlook in <strong>Safe Mode<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If Outlook opens, you are most likely looking at an<strong> add-in<\/strong> causing the error.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, disable each add-in one at a time from Outlook <strong>File &gt;&gt; Options &gt;&gt; Add-ins &gt;&gt; Manage COM add-ins &gt;&gt; Go<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If needed, once you find the add-in causing trouble, enable the rest at a later stage and then <strong>restart Outlook.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By now, the Outlook error 0x80040116 must have been resolved. If not, maybe your PST file is oversized. As a last alternative, once try to reduce its size too.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Compact Outlook PST File<\/h4>\n<p>An oversized PST is the primary cause of file damage and corruption. So, to fix it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Access the Outlook <strong>File &gt;&gt; Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Then, in the <strong>Data File<\/strong> tab, select your <strong>PST<\/strong> file.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, from <strong>Settings<\/strong>, click <strong>Compact Now<\/strong> and reduce the PST file size.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This will also help you optimize the speed and performance of MS Outlook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loopholes of the Manual Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SCANPST will only work on small corruption issues and not on a heavily damaged PST or one that is large in size.<\/li>\n<li>It is not possible to repair the deleted items or encrypted PST folders.<\/li>\n<li>Older Outlook versions have a size limit of 2 GB, and the features may vary depending on the Outlook version.<\/li>\n<li>No feasible or accurate solution to completely resolve the issue at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professionally_Fix_%E2%80%9COutlookpst_Cannot_be_Accessed%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Professionally Fix &ldquo;Outlook.pst Cannot be Accessed&rdquo;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the solutions above are unhelpful, or if you suspect that the PST file is very corrupt. Then use the <strong>SysInfo PST Repair Tool <\/strong>that is specifically designed to repair Outlook PST files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steps to Solve Error Code 0x80040116<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Launch the <strong>PST File Repair<\/strong> and click <strong>Open<\/strong> from the top-left to add a file.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Then, browse and load the <strong>PST<\/strong>s that you want to fix from corruption.<\/li>\n<li>Further, choose the <strong>Standard\/Advanced\/Deep<\/strong> recovery mode and click <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Afterward, the files appear, and you can preview them in the software.<\/li>\n<li>Select files, click <strong>Save<\/strong>, pick a destination, and desired format.
