Microsoft finally confirms that buggy Nov security patch KB 4461529 causes Outlook 2010 to crash on startup
I reported on the problem on Nov. 14. MS finally got around to acknowledging it officially.
After updating Outlook 2010 to the November 2018 Public Update KB 4461529 Outlook crashes or closes suddenly on start up. The issue only affects 64-bit installations of Outlook 2010.
