Which program causes: "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook."?


Question

Since a couple of days I get the message when (re)booting my computer "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date."

It's not listed which program though. I have already uninstalled some "possible suspects" (like e.g. iCloud and so on) but this didn't help.

In the startup item was an entry called "Program", but disabling this still gives me this pop-up.

 

I ran a complete anti-virus scan and my computer is clean. Also Malwarebytes states my computer is okay.

 

How can I figure out - because the message isn't telling me - which program is trying to access my Outlook?

I have Office 365 installed on a Windows 10 machine.

Of course I can allow this "program", but which one? And what does it do?

I tried several things: uninstalling KIS2016 and all Outlook Com Add-ins.

After reboot the annoying messages still keeps on going strong.

 

Which program is causing this?

After closing Outlook this message appears...

Also the blue circle is running/spinning like crazy and Outlook is pretty much non-responsive...

Hello,

 

You mentioned KIS2016, so I'm guessing you are a Kaspersky customer?  I would suggest contacting their technical support at http://www.kaspersky.com/nl/support and asking them for assistance in checking the computer.  It could be some new piece of malware as-yet undetected by them.

 

Regards,

Now start installing your programs slowly just in case this happens again you can pin point the program causing it.

    • Hey Nick! 👋 No worries at all — you're not alone in this, and it's great you're asking for help. Let me walk you through a simple, step-by-step fix using the tool mentioned on that AOMEI Partition Assistant guide — it really does the trick for many people with this exact issue! ✅ Here’s how to restore your USB back to full 256GB on Windows 11: Download & Install AOMEI Partition Assistant Go to the link you shared: AOMEI Partition Assistant and click the Download Freeware button. Insert your USB stick (Sandisk Ultra 256GB) Make sure it's properly connected. Wait for the system to detect it. Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant Once open, you'll see all your connected drives listed. Locate your USB Drive Look for the one that says something like Disk X – Removable and shows only 3.1GB or so. Right-click on your USB Drive’s Partition Then select Delete Partition → confirm the deletion. Now, right-click on the unallocated space (it should now show full unallocated capacity) Choose Create Partition → format it as FAT32 or exFAT (recommended for larger drives) → click OK. Click “Apply” in the top left corner Then hit Proceed to execute the pending operations. Wait a bit... and boom! 🎉 Your USB should now be restored to its full 256GB capacity!
    • When Facebook bought Beat Saber, they promised exactly this would never happen. Facebook can’t not lie.
    • Depends on what you mean by "this data". Nvidia can show you quite a few of those as well in their performance overlay, and I guess they might've assumed that if anyone wants to see more, they'll just use Afterburner as the de facto standard. As for real framerate vs framegen framerate, I don't think they exactly want you to know, given that their marketing has been strongly focused on hiding the real framerate and pretending the generated one is all that matters...
    • Yeah, but that never works out well. You can just give your power user more options and they'll be happy. Your new generation can just go with whatever you think is the best default.
