Found a reddit thread with a fix. Confirmed it fix both machines. I'm guessing Microsoft will eventually fix it and push down a fix. But if you are in a pinch and need  outlook.exe working now.

 

cd “\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun”

then:

officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.6366.2062

Thank you! Bug and fix confirmed! You will need internet connectivity to run the fix.

On my end, I had to type in the email address the M365 software is licensed to. Not sure if that part was just a one-off.

 

@warwagon If this is truly a worldwide issue you are probably helping thousands!

Reddit is helping thousands, i'm just spreading the word. I usually know it's pretty wide spread, which I get 2 calls in 20 mins about it.

WW, did this happen on startup? I am running that 13001 version and haven't experienced anything out of line - yet...

Happens when you open outlook it you'll see the splash screen, then it will go away and outlook.exe will leave memory. . just helped my mom with her office 365 this morning, her outlook was still working great.

Some more info. This issue is NOT fixed by -

 

Creating a new Outlook profile, running a 'quick' or 'online' repair, running chkdsk, sfc /scannow, etc.

 

This is an issue caused by a bug in Outlook. Rolling back to the last version of Office (via the above instructions) DOES allow Outlook to operate normally again.

I can confirm that this works, but it has left a couple of issues of its own !

One seems to be that on some machines it corrupts the OutlPrnt1 file located in %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook and wont let you print from outlook, if you just rename this file to something worth naming, like microsoftareplnkers then that should fix that error, the other is that it seems to have messed with html signature, i have not had chance to look into this further as yet and will update in due course but if anyone else has the answer then please let me know and the rest of the class.

 

cheers for reading and hope everyone is good and healthy

The root issue appears to have been an update to the Microsoft infrastructure that Microsoft Office applications connect to when opening. Apparently, this issue also affected Office 2019 (non-cloud Office versions)

 

One major question comes to mind -

Who the F* authorized a middle of the work day (for USA), untested update to the back-end infrastructure that millions of Microsoft Office applications rely on?!

 

Completely ridiculous!

And why is the non cloud version phoning home on Every launch.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
