1412545 2015-12-09 19:28:00 This is not a question but a solution to the latest Microsoft stuff ups on their updates that's hitting thousands of users. ( mine included, all 5 PC) :annoyed:

Yesterday Microsoft pushed out many Office updates.

One in particular can screw up Outlook 2010 , it will open but always opens in safe mode only.

SOLUTION: go into the Control panel, installed updates, locate and UNINSTALL KB3114409

Outlook now opens correctly.

Now the funny bit: :D its supposed to give Administrators the option to never have Outlook open in Safe Mode :illogical BUT it does the exact opposite, it forces Outlook to open in safe mode. Disabling add-in doesn't do a thing. Some clever buggered has discovered :
They haven't taken into account the Wow6432Node key for 64bit machines running 32bit Office. OOPS!!! that's a ****up and a half

You can alter the reg keys to make it work, but MS will push out a fix ASAP ( one would hope) Article (www.reddit.com)

Once uninstalled, manually run Windows updates and stop KB3114409 from installing again if it shows up - MS may have pulled it.

1412546 2015-12-09 20:00:00 yet..another..untested..update :mad:
So MS ,lets not learn from KB 3097877 , less than a month ago.
just ranting, sorry :-)

Just another reason not to trust MS winupdates & wait a few weeks before install.

What network stuff up? Are you just talking about it re-enabling password protected sharing? Or something deeper.

Most small businesses just looove spending on IT , love it to bits :banana
Reality is, try telling them to replace all The 2010's that they bought approx 3 years ago..... :tui:

They could argue, not fit for use if they bought it early year 2013 & needs to be 'replaced' allready,( while typing this on his XP PC ) :)
