Since many marketers use Microsoft Outlook to manage their email, we want to make you aware of this new article in InfoWorld, by Woody Leonhard.

Microsoft just released a patch to correct problems in their Outlook email client. While it may correct some problems, unfortunately, it reintroduces other problems in the calendar function.

An initial patch in early December solved some earlier bugs, but caused some users to only be able to use Outlook in “safe mode.” In mid-December, Microsoft released another patch to correct that bug. But that patch wasn’t widely available until this week.

So, this week, many people started installing that patch, with less than salutary results. Unfortunately, while fixing the safe mode bug, it brought back a bug that had been fixed in a prior patch. This bug affects appointments that take palce in the middle of the night, starting before midnight and ending after midnight.

To make matters worse, as Leonhard reports:

Those of you running Outlook 2010 on Windows 10 take special note. Windows 10’s forced updates mean you’ll get the bug over and over again, unless you take specific steps to stop the madness.
