Microsoft rushes out fix after Outlook crashes hit users
Technology
Microsoft just dropped an urgent update (KB5078127) for Windows 11, after a recent security patch caused Outlook and other apps to crash—especially when saving or opening files from cloud services like OneDrive and Dropbox.
What went wrong for Outlook users?
If you use Outlook Classic with PST files on OneDrive, you probably noticed the app freezing on startup, missing Sent Items, or needing constant restarts.
All of this started after the January 13 update.
Why this update matters now
This patch not only fixes those annoying crashes but also sorts out Remote Desktop and shutdown bugs from earlier updates.
It's especially important if you rely on POP/PST in Outlook.
If your apps have been acting up lately, grab this update ASAP to get things back to normal—no need to uninstall anything else.
