In which mode can Microsoft Outlook be launched?

Launching Microsoft Outlook in a visible instance is a common practice as it allows users to interact directly with the application, viewing their emails, calendars, and other features in a user-friendly interface. When Outlook is run with a visible instance, users can perform tasks like reading, writing emails, managing their calendar, and accessing other features readily.

This mode is not only beneficial for standard user workflow but is also essential in scenarios where immediate visual feedback is necessary, such as when automating processes that require user interaction or verification. In contrast, while other modes may exist, such as running with a hidden instance or in the background, they restrict the user's ability to see what actions are being executed, which is crucial in many scenarios where user input or confirmation is needed.

Furthermore, if Outlook is launched in a hidden or background mode, this can limit its usability for most everyday tasks, as users won’t have direct access to the interface.
