Microsoft Outlook Crash: Temporary Fixes for Email Woes
Microsoft has shared a temporary fix for a classic Outlook crash bug caused by the latest update. While an official fix is on the way, users can revert to a previous version as a workaround. If you’re tired of Outlook crashing just when you’re about to unleash your most brilliant email, this one’s for you!
