Outlook crashes after 11/10 Patch Tuesday Windows Updates

Multiple users after installing security and critical windows updates this past Tuesday are experiencing random Outlook crashes and so far the fix is to recreate their mail profile. This is happening on both Outlook 2010 and 2013 clients running on Windows 7 64-bit machines.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

This has been buzzing all over EE today.  Find the KB with the office or outlook update and remove it from one workstation to see if that rectifies the issue.  If so, you can use one of the enterprise methods for bulk machines in this link.

Multiple people have complained about it today and it is due to a patch installed last night.
I would remove kb3104540 first, reboot and see if the problem goes away.  Try that.

Inside kb3104540 there is a slew of other updates.  You may want to narrow it down to the Office 2010 kbs, pull those out test and then take it from there.
