After upgrading to Windows 10 yesterday Outlook 2013 stopped sending emails. Outlook displayed the message:
“Task ‘Randy Perkins-Smart – Sending’ reported error (0x800CCC13) : ‘Cannot connect to the network. Verify your network connection or modem.'”
After a quick search I found the following solution:
- Close all running programs (may not be absolutely necessary)
- Right click on the Windows Start icon and click Command Prompt (Admin)
- When the command prompt is displayed type:
sfc /scannow
- Once complete it should look something like this:
- Now type:
exit - Restart you PC.
Now when you use Outlook you should be able to send emails.
