Last Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released some updates to Microsoft Outlook and Office 2010 with the intent of addressing changes in the Japanese calendar. However, Softpedia reports that Microsoft pulled KB4461522 and KB2863821 due to issues that can cause Office to crash. Meanwhile, Microsoft issued a warning for KB4461529 on their website, stating that it can cause Outlook to crash. However, as the update contains security related fixes, Microsoft left that particular update up and is asking users to try the web-based version of Outlook if they run into any issues. While buggy Windows patches are nothing new, Microsoft is under more scrutiny than usual after the Windows 10 October Update fiasco, and seeing issues like this in released patches doesn't bode well.
If you hit the said crashes, you are recommended to remove the updates as soon as possible, though it goes without saying that you’re going to lose the fixes that Microsoft detailed above. There's no ETA for a fix or when the updates may be re-released without the said bugs, so for now, the only option is to remove the botched patch and wait until Microsoft shares more details.
