In some instances, it is observed that Microsoft Outlook disables the add-in. On reactivation, the add-in works without any issues.
Explanation:
Outlook imposes strict time limits for add-ins and this includes 1000 ms for loading, 500 ms for folder switch and for shutdown. If the add-in exceed this time limit, then Outlook disables the add-in
Resolution:
1) Go to File in Microsoft Outlook
