The issue is caused by Microsoft Edge Webview runtime software and can affect any add-ins (also third parties).

1. Close Microsoft Outlook.
2. Close Microsoft Edge browser windows, if any are opened.
3. Download MS Edge Webview2 runtime from this location: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703

If this package does not work in your configuration, install an alternative version.

Browse this Microsoft resource: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/#download-section for versions compatible with different Microsoft Edge builds and x86, x64, or arm64 architecture.

4. Open your Downloads folder and install Webview2 on your Windows system.
