To repair a corrupted PST file in Outlook, you can use the Outlook PST Repair Tool, also known as vSoftware, which is a built-in utility provided by Microsoft. Follow these steps:

1. Locate vMail Software – It is usually found in the Outlook installation folder. The path may vary depending on your Outlook version, but common locations include:
   • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\OfficeXX\ (for Office 365 and newer versions)
   • C:\Program Files (x86) \Microsoft Office\OfficeXX\ (for older versions)
2. Run the tool – Double-click ScanPST.exe and browse for the corrupted PST file.
3. Start the repair process – Click Start to scan the file. If errors are found, select Repair to fix them.
4. Restart Outlook – After the repair, open Outlook and check if the issue is resolved.

If the built-in Outlook PST Repair Tool fails to fix severe corruption, you may need a third-party PST recovery tool.

To repair corrupted PST files in Outlook, you need to utilize a ScanPST.EXE. This tool helps you to repair your corrupted, inaccessible, damaged, PST files but this tool was not recommended by most users because this SCANPST.EXE is useful when on minor issues also this tool is associated with lots of issues, risk of data loss, limitation of size, etc. So, rather than using a risk way, you can utilize an expert or reliable application like Softaken PST Recovery Software.
