Whenever Outlook doesn't close properly, it could be that an add-in or a certain program is affecting how it closes. Let's look at the add-ins first.
In order to determine if this behavior is being caused by an add-in, try to disable all add-ins, and then do an elimination check where you enable them one by one so that you can trace what add-in is responsible. To turn off all your add-ins, the steps for each version are listed below:
You can then do the elimination process here.
Aside from add-ins, certain programs have been found to have issues with Outlook. This might be more difficult to track down since it all depends on the kinds of software you have in your pc and their interaction with Outlook. Some of the known programs causing this are the following:synchronization software such as ActiveSync, itunes; Skype, and virus scanners. You may want to check what new software you installed immediately before you notice the error.
It's also a good idea to update your Outlook because recent service packs can help in these types of issues.
Good luck and hope that helps!
