Hi all, here's my update for you all. So I've just been through and installed the three available updates to me which includes one that was suggested uninstalled. The update took sometime, one of the updates was a full Windows update, reckon about 40 ish minutes beginning to end of install and after restarting to complete the update Outlook worked without intervention. So MS have either fixed these updates now or there's a further issue if using Outlook to synch with an online mail system running Exchange. All my email accounts are POP or IMAP so am local running Outlook only.

 

I'm now showing no updates available in Updates and in the installed updates the list has completely changed, I'm guessing because of the update to Windows itself. Have screen grabbed and attached my Windows version.
