    Hi @Iniobong Nkanga

    Welcome to our forum!

    It seems you’re experiencing an issue with the Outlook task pane where it’s stuck on the loading screen. There are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem:

    1. Check for Updates: Ensure that Outlook is updated to the latest version, as updates often contain fixes for common issues.
    2. Internet Connectivity: Verify that your internet connection is stable, as Outlook tasks may not load properly without it.
    3. Disable Add-Ins: Add-ins can sometimes cause issues. Try running Outlook in safe mode (Windows + R> type "outlook.exe /safe">enter) to see if the problem persists. If it doesn’t, disable any active add-ins.
    4. Repair Office: You can attempt to repair your Office installation, which can fix issues with Outlook not responding or being stuck at loading. More information, see: Repair an Office application.
