Outlook 2013 crash, not starting

Today I faced an issue with my outlook 2013, In my windows 10 I installed office 2013 and it was working fine but after installing few other applications on my system outlook was unable to start.
then I started to find the reason and also I restart my outlook and even my system few times but no luck.
Then I went to event viewer and found the event ID 1000 in application logs.
I also tried in the mean time to check outlook in safe mode (start-->run and type outlook.exe /safe and hit enter)and found its ok, was able to start without any issue.

The complete error in application logs was some thing like bellow.

----End--
Now I came to know that issue is with Add-in.
So I tried to disable (uncheck) one by one and check the issue
HOW
Start-->Option-->Add-ins-->here you will see all add-ins and below you will see Manage COM Add-ins-->click on Go-->here you will see COM Add-ins
Now you can uncheck any Add-ins
Now after disabling one of them and trying the outlook my issue was resolved.
