The January Patch Tuesday Windows update, designed to fix security flaws, also introduced several fresh bugs: Outlook freezing/not responding (with PSTs on OneDrive), app errors when opening cloud-saved files, and licensing/Store issues for some apps. Microsoft released at least one out-of-band fix for Remote Desktop and Secure Launch, but many problems remain unresolved.

Microsoft offers temporary workaround for Outlook freezes after Windows updates

Microsoft says Outlook can freeze after this month’s Windows security updates (KB5074109/KB5073724) for users with POP accounts on Windows 11 25H2/24H2 and Windows 10/Servers. Symptoms include the Outlook window becoming unresponsive, needing Task Manager or a restart to reopen, re-downloading emails, and Sent Items not showing. If PSTs are stored in OneDrive, similar issues can occur; Microsoft notes broader impacts across Windows 10 and Windows Server versions. Workarounds include using webmail, moving PST files out of OneDrive, or uninstalling the affected updates (KB5074109 or KB5073724), though removing updates can expose devices to security risks. Microsoft is investigating with no ETA for a fix.

Microsoft 365 Premium: the price tag doesn't match the value for most users

ZDNET argues that Microsoft 365 Premium costs more without clear added value, as its AI credits are vague and hard to gauge. For most users, Personal offers desktop apps, 1 TB OneDrive per person, and Copilot at a lower price, while Family adds sharing but Copilot access is limited to the account owner. Basic is too limited for desktop Office apps. In short, skip Premium unless you specifically need its AI features and can tolerate uncertain limits; otherwise choose Personal or Family.
