Office 2016 suddenly failed after update
I have one user with Office Pro 2016 running on Windows 10 Pro, and everything was perfect from day one, until 2 days ago. Outlook would not start up. Just opens and dies.
I tried to run online repair and it gives error 30088-26. I tried to uninstall it and even that failed. I think that was error 30160-23(2).
I used the manual uninstaller and forced it to uninstall, then reinstalled Office.
Everything was perfect again until it started to update, then it crashes again with the same errors.
I have deleted her profile from appdata, done a clean install (5 times), it runs perfectly until it says You have Office updates ready to install, then it's dead again.
Right now I have her running by manually blocking Office updates, but I don't want to do this.
Any suggestions?
