The “scanpst.exe” program or file is the PST repair tool or the Inbox Repair tool. It is used to diagnose and repair errors in the Outlook data file. It checks the Outlook data files on the computer if they are in good shape.

The Inbox Repair tool is used when you receive a message that Microsoft Office Outlook is unable to open your data file, set of folders, or when you think your Outlook data file is damaged. To use the tool, first, exit Microsoft Office Outlook if it is running then navigate to one of these locations using Windows Explorer and double-click “scanpst.exe”:

  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2016 – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2019 – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

Next, click “Browse” then navigate to the location of the Outlook data file or PST file (*.pst) and select to open. Click “Start” to begin the scan. If errors were found at the end of the scan, click “Repair” to fix them.
