Outlook for Mac is not launching after updating to v16.66 (22083100) on macOS Catalina

[Refik_Telhan]

The same thing is happening again. Just as it started crashing at launch with the initial update to 16.65 on the Beta Channel. The same Finder crash report has appeared after the update.

Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x1] Library missing

I think Beta versions are being released too early without sufficient internal testing. This is fourth occasion where the same problem has appeared after an update. Each time, the problem was cured some days later after few further updates.

The cure for 16.65 took several updates. I hope the cure comes quicker this time.

@Refik_Telhan I have the same problem…again.

Resolved by returning to release 16.64 and disabling automatic update.
