I still see this after clean installing 1909 via bootable USB recently:

As I mentioned before, on July 16, I did a clean install of Win 10 1909, reinstalled Office 365, and noticed Outlook works again the next day.

Anyway, wanted to post an update and I will also stick with Win 1909.

 

I thought its because of the new update I installed for an app or a Win 10 2004 issue, I got mad and decided to do a clean install of 1909, I had a bootable USB of 1909 on my desk and had enough motivation to do a clean install because my friend also told me he didn’t updated to 2004 yet.

Is the Outlook problem solved now?

Thank you.

By the way, Woody, have you been getting my emails? I did send you but never heard of you. Thank you if you update me on that. Thank you so much.

Thankfully not seeing this bug on Windows 10 Pro 1909 (18363.900) and using Office Pro Plus 2016 with Outlook Version 2005 (Build 12827.20336 Click-To-Run).

Me too turned on my PC after a day, and my Office says its:

Version 2005 (Build 12827.20336 Click-to-Run) Current Channel

So hopefully somehow I am lucky that did not the get the latest update for Office which is:

version 2005 Build 12827.20268

It has always been my practice to stay fully updated.  I’ll be downloading and installing 2004 as soon as it becomes available.  I’m always prepared.

I downloaded it via the Windows Insider Program. Instructions here:

On my main 1909 PC, I installed the update with no issues.

File Explorer crashes got worsen on my PC after this update.

Ditto: Installed via Windows Update. No apparent problems.

Thanks Woody, as Mayank Parmar mentioned, there is “File Explorer or the desktop and taskbar crashes without warning.” I do have it since I moved to 1909.

I thought this might be helpful as well.

I would also recommend using O & O Shutup10

The problem still resists in 1909 with all the latest updates.

It says on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4535996/windows-10-update-kb4535996:

“Updates an issue that prevents the Windows Search box from rendering properly.”

So does this fix  File Explorer crashes?

Yesterday, I resumed the updates. And installed the kb4532693 with no issues.

 

I also talked with a geek friend of mine and he said:

Actually, I did install both this update and the other problematic one (that you mentioned in your earlier email), but didn’t have any issues on any of my machines. I guess this must depend on hardware or some other factor? Anyway, another good reason to have backups.

We are still on DEFCON-2, which means WAIT until the DEFCON number is 3 or greater. At that time Woody will publish instructions for safe patching in an article in ComputerWorld.

This is new post:

“Whatever the case may be, if you’re one of the users who didn’t install the latest cumulative update and now thinking of installing it on your PC, you should wait until Microsoft finds a solution to fix these bugs.”
