As we are well aware that Microsoft Outlook is a very helpful application that allows us to send and receive emails instantly. However, at times, it may start to give you a tough time by showing offline whenever you try to use it for the emailing purpose. This not only frustrates the user but also makes him think about what should be his next move to get rid of this issue. Most of the time, this issue can be easily fixed by upgrading your application via office.com/setup. But, sometimes, this is not enough and you have to fix it using other troubleshooting ways.

How to Solve the problem “Outlook stuck in offline mode”?
If you are experiencing the Outlook stuck in Offline Mode problem, you may use the following steps to diagnose and resolve it. These techniques are compatible with Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019.
Method 1: Reset’ Work Offline’ to Reconnect
In Outlook, the RECEIVE page contains a button that allows you to work when not connected to the internet. Select the (Work Offline) option from the drop-down menu to restore work offline mode then connect to the Office or server.
Check the current status. Once the computer reconnects, a connection to Exchange Server or a similar status message should be displayed in the status bar. If this is not the case, verify your internet connection and try again.
Method 2: Install Pending Updates
Updates can occasionally cause problems with the installed apps on the Windows operating system. Consequently, if there are any outstanding updates connected to Microsoft Office or Outlook, you must check for and install these updates.
