Heads Up for Outlook 2010 Users & Dec 8th's Update (KB3114409)

Thanks for the road map. I am not a techie. How hard is it to uninstall the update? I have never done that before.

Go to Control Panel from there to Windows Update. From there go to View update History then see Installed Updates. From there look for the update click to highlight then click on Uninstall at the top.

Good Luck

Thanks Scottle. I will give it a try.

Thank you everyone. You are geniuses! It even gave me back my original settings!

Interesting. I received updates for Office 2007 and I'm not having issues.

The issue has been accepted by MS and applies only to Outlook 2010. The download for KB3114409 has been removed. I've been able to log a support call with Microsoft and confirmed this is a known issue.

For anyone that needs to uninstall the update silently or in a script for larger deployments use the following command:

msiexec /I {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} MSIPATCHREMOVE={14CDCBF7-3CCC-42E2-A5BB-2D4926E16FAA} /qn

Note: {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} is for Office 2010 Professional Plus. This maybe different for other versions (eg Standard) so check your registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall).

This is another disappointing example of poor software engineering & testing from MS.

On a 64Bit machine with 32Bit Outlook you have to create following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security\ DWORD: DisableSafeMode = 1

I just posted the same thing in the News thread. I actually created the entry to see if it would work. Nope. Update KB3114409 made Outlook 2010 behave badly for me. It would always open fullscreen and would not keep configuration like window size, reading pane, column widths and such. I ended up uninstalling it and Outlook went back to normal.

The update is also forgetting read receipt preferences - come on Microsoft sort it out!

Well my outlook for 2013 is running fine with the updates installed, so I guess its only for older versions??
