I've stopped installing MS patches until they are vetted out for telemetry and W10 upgrade. That includes critical updates. Sorry state of affairs, but that is what I have to do.

I had to do a repair install of office 2010 in order to get outlook working again.

Yes, after the update my outlook started crashing left and right. Then finally it messed up its message view badly. Sounds like Microsoft fired whole testing team.

If you suddenly find that Microsoft Outlook crashes every single time you're trying to open an HTML email, uninstall update KB3097877. Microsoft released a bad update!

Update: it appears the simplest fix for the unable to log in will be to boot to recovery options and uninstall the offending KB3097877 by using a command line instruction ( most W7 computers should have the recovery console inbuilt) see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/...ns#what-are-system-recovery-options=windows-7

Everybody needs to go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3097877 and leave feedback on how this patch wrecked their office software.

I have Outlook'13 installed as an archive... I switched to Thunderbird finally after the last forced update to '13... and it's showing errors... and I didn't even install -7877!

Good job, MS.
