Hot Take:

Looks like Outlook is taking its “crash course” a bit too literally. Microsoft is out here playing the role of a time traveler, suggesting we revert to a past version to escape the clutches of a bug from the future. Someone call Doctor Who, because Outlook is having a timey-wimey crisis!

Key Points:

  • Outlook crashes when writing, replying, or forwarding emails after updating to a specific version.
  • The crashes trigger “0xc0000005” exception codes, confirmed through Windows Event Viewer logs.
  • Microsoft plans to release a permanent fix in late January.
  • A temporary workaround is available by reverting Outlook to a previous version.
  • Microsoft has a history of dealing with Outlook bugs, including recent fixes for other issues.
