Microsoft 365 / Outlook No longer opens after Windows Update (7/15/2020)
Run this script in powershell to roll back the version of microsoft office. This worked for us:
Set-Location -Path 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun' ; .\OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.12827.2047
The same thing happened yesterday ( 7/15/2020) with my Outlook/Office ( etc) 2019 software. & I called a computer tech ( where I bought the computer ) and he told me 47 people called him about the same problem, that it was a Microsoft issue, and not an issue with my computer. He said just to wait and Microsoft will fix the problem. The next day, it worked fine. However, this didn't happen the result of an update ( or maybe it updated automatically and it happened, I don't know, but that's probably it, it was a bad update which Microsoft fixed, apparently ).
I read about that. I only use outlook with gmail though so for me i do not think it was the server-side issue that was being discussed. Either way mine was working a day earlier 🙂
