Not loading - how do I re-enable?

If Outlook terminated during operation, the ClearContext add-in could be disabled. The first step is to restart Outlook and see if that fixes the problem. If this does not work, follow the instructions below to re-enable.

Check if ClearContext has been disabled within Outlook

**Please note that there are two places to check listed below - COM Add-ins and Disabled Items**

1. Select File > Options > Add-ins. In the bottom of the Window select Manage: Disabled Items and click Go.... Select the checkbox next to ClearContext. Click Enable.

2. If that doesn't work, select File > Options > Add-ins. In the bottom of the Window select Manage: COM Add-ins and click Go.... Enable the checkbox next to ClearContext

New Installations or Reinstalls

The ClearContext installer normally detects whether the 32 or 64 bit version of Outlook is installed, and will automatically select the matching ClearContext version. In the rare case where one has to manually select the version, the 32/64 bitness of ClearContext needs to match the 32/64 bitness of Outlook. You can verify whether your Outlook is 32 or 64 bits by going to the Outlook File->Office Account->About Outlook screen (may vary by version). By the full version number there will be a 32 or 64 bit label.

When ClearContext is installed - in the Programs section of the Windows Control Panel, the 64 bit version of ClearContext will be listed as a 64 bit version, while the 32 bit version has no bitness description.

Advanced Troubleshooting

The following steps should only be performed if ClearContext has gotten disabled multiple times and you are having trouble re-enabling the add-in through the steps above.

1. Shut down Outlook
2. Uninstall ClearContext from the Windows Control Panel

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Resiliency\CrashingAddinList
   Outlook 2010:
