Uncheck the box by an add-in to disable it, or highlight it and click the Remove button
At the bottom, click on Manage / COM Add-Ins / Go (As described below, there’s an extra trick for the iTunes add-in.) This is the path to remove or disable most Outlook add-ins. They can be disabled or removed if you’re sure you don’t use any feature from those programs in Outlook. You may see some add-ins from other third party programs. If Acrobat is installed on the computer, an add-in is responsible for the ribbon that adds buttons for easy PDF creation. There’s one named “Windows Search Email Indexer” that always shows as Disabled but apparently has to be there for some reason. Microsoft has several that work with Office 365 and Exchange, for example. You’ll likely find eight or ten or more add-ins listed. Outlook add-ins are listed in File / Options / Add-ins. How do you find out if the iTunes add-ins are installed?
It’s not always obvious that the Apple add-ins are responsible and yet a surprising number of problems seem to melt away when the add-ins are removed. It’s better than it used to be but there can still be lengthy delays when Outlook is started, errors when Outlook is shut down (or even a failure to completely shut down), and occasional crashes. The iTunes addins can cause problems for Outlook even if the sync is not set up. It’s clumsy and doesn’t work very well, and it can cause problems if it’s running on an Exchange mailbox which takes care of its own syncing. It’s different than the syncing done from Outlook with iCloud, which has its own problems.Īlmost no one uses the iTunes contact and calendar sync. The idea is that iTunes can be set up to sync contacts and calendar from Outlook. What is added into Outlook by iTunes?Īctually there are two add-ins: “Outlook Change Notifier” and “iTunes Outlook Addin.” In typical Apple fashion, you didn’t ask for them and the chances are you’re not using them. Since nothing is easy these days, naturally it requires an extra trick to remove the add-in.
In some cases, it turns out to cause slowdowns and crashes in Outlook. If you’re an Outlook user and iTunes is installed on your computer, you may have an Apple add-in running in Outlook that isn’t doing anything useful.
