After the repair, users can open and import the repaired PST into Outlook to restore the emails. &nbsp;<\/p><p>It&rsquo;s normal to see Inbox Repair Tool not responding during the PST file repair process. However, after some time, the tool usually starts responding and finishes the PST repair. Sometimes, the Inbox Repair Tool displays a &lsquo;Not Responding&rsquo; message when it&rsquo;s too busy in fixing the PST file corruption.<\/p><p>Generally, if the PST is not encrypted, is not severely corrupt, or is not larger than 2 GB, the Inbox Repair tool can fix it. Ideally, you should wait for the Inbox Repair Tool to start responding. The time can vary based on the level of corruption and PST file size. But if it&rsquo;s taking forever to fix the PST file and does not respond after a while, gets stuck, crashes, or fails to repair the PST, there could be other problems with the tool or the PST file.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-inbox-repair-tool-is-not-responding?\"><strong>Why Inbox Repair Tool is not Responding?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Inbox Repair Tool or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/article\/scanpst-freezes-fails-not-responding-to-repair-pst.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> SCANPST.EXE may freeze and stop responding<\/a> due to several reasons, such as:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The PST file is currently in use by another application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inbox Repair Tool can&rsquo;t find a fix for the corruption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read\/write disk permissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive errors (bad sectors).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virus infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Further, Inbox Repair Tool has some notable limitations that can prevent it from repairing a PST file, leading to the Inbox Repair Tool not responding issues. These limitations are as follows:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inbox Repair Tool is recommended for repairing a PST file up to 2 GB in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tool cannot repair encrypted or password-protected PST files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It cannot rebuild or fix a severely damaged or corrupt PST file.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Often, the Inbox Repair tool not responding issue is an indicator of severe corruption in the PST file that can&rsquo;t be repaired with the help of this proprietary tool.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"solutions-to-fix-inbox-repair-tool-not-responding-issue\"><strong>Solutions to Fix Inbox Repair Tool not Responding Issue<\/strong><\/h2><p>Following are a few workarounds and solutions you can follow to troubleshoot and fix the Inbox Repair Tool not responding problem.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-locate-and-run-correct-scanpst-exe-inbox-repair-tool\"><strong>How to Locate and Run Correct SCANPST.EXE (Inbox Repair Tool)<\/strong><\/h3><p>Make sure you are running the SCANPST.EXE located in the MS Office installation directory.
