Agreed, Seen loads of issues with third party applications sending mail through 64bit Outlook, stayed away from it since and it was a while ago so may be better these days but i doubt it.

Depends too on when this was done, how long ago, how good IT staff deploying fixes, how many times you have been upgraded etc. Apparently MS is again incompatible with itself and either neglects some dll''s others might want, typical email issues with own eMail etc. Then are the issues regarding problems of products of other companies. Some examples here (If you've no problems, then why care)

Windows 10 Build 10547 Causing a Lot of Problems
A Microsoft representative has reached out, saying that this problem should be resolved in the upcoming build 10550 of Windows 10:
“I’m pleased to report that a fix has been identified and should be resolved in build 10550 of Windows 10. If you are still seeing this issue after build 10550, please let us know by replying to this post again.”
So this means that this particular bug is Windows-related and isn’t caused by the Office software itself

Thank you so much.
Thanx and happy coding.
There can also be issue for OS, if caring on other code, DOS CMD, features etc. Just saw this today:
First up: Edge-as-e-reader. Starting with build 14971, Microsoft says Edge will be able to display any unprotected ebook in the epub format.

Windows 10 preview pushes Command Prompt into the shadows, Paint 3D into the spotlight
Build 14971 says goodbye to the classic paint program and puts PowerShell up front instead of the command prompt.

Microsoft also killed Edge’s snooze tab feature, which was introduced in preview build 14926. The trial feature let you set a Cortana reminder to look at a tab again after a set period of time
