Outlook 2010 runs in Safe Mode after KB3114409

 

Microsoft released a bad patch on 9 December 2015, which caused Outlook 2010 to run only in Safe Mode. The fix for this is to uninstall the patch. Microsoft has already pulled this patch and is likely to release it again at a later time. I would suggest waiting at least a week before reinstalling this patch.

To fix this issue, perform the following steps to uninstall the bad patch.

  1. Close Outlook and All Microsoft Office Programs
  2. Open Control Panel
  3. Click on Programs. (Alternatively, you can search for View installed updates in the search bar at the top right corner of the Control Panel)

     

  4. Click on View Installed Updates

     

  5. Scroll down to the Microsoft Office 2010 section, and look for Update for Microsoft Outlook 2010 (KB3114409) 32-Bit Edition (or 64-Bit Edition).

     

     

     

  6. Click Uninstall

     

     

  7. Click the Uninstall button

     

  8. The patch will be uninstalled

     

  9. When the patch is uninstalled, click OK and close the Control Panel
