Start outlook in safe mode: outlook.exe /safe

If you are having problems with a Microsoft Office program, you may be able to use User-Initiated Safe mode to make it possible to run the program.

More info on Office's SafeMode here

I read alternatives about running outlook as administrator. The shortcut I had on my taskbar was not a shortcut to Outlook its self, but some meta-information about it. Eventually I found the OUTLOOK.EXE file somewhere in C:\Program Files and rick-clicked it and ran it as administrator. That immediately found and disabled the culprit, without even asking me. I assume this is similar to running it in safe mode.

You can rename the TeamViewer add-in files and Outlook will load and show it as inactive. Go to: Program Files (or Program Files (x86))\TeamViewer\Version9\outlook

There are four files in this folder and three of the names start with "TeamViewerMeetingAddIn"
I renamed these by putting 1 as the first character, "1TeamViewerMeetingAddIn"
When I restarted Outlook it loaded up with no problem.

you can change the TeamViewer settings to disable the TeamViewer's Outlook addin. Go to options, advance, then disable outlook addin near the bottom of the list.
