• Microsoft issues a fix for the KB 4461529 security patch that crashed 64-bit Outlook 2010

  It appeared yesterday. KB 4461585 is supposed to provide all of the security goodies in KB 4461529, with none of the crashes.

  Thx, @TVWizard

  So what do you do when Microsoft crashes your copy of Outlook, says you shouldn’t uninstall the security patch that fixes it, and offers Outlook Web App as an alternative… and you can’t log on to OWA because of a Multi-Factor Authorization bug?

  Rhetorical question, of course.

  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.
