Running Outlook on the iMac causes the screen to flicker and eventually black out and reduce to half/split screen display.

A further update and Observation.   If you change the resolution of your screen away from the 5K default, the problem also revolves, whilst not ideal it is a work around if you are dependent on Outlook.  Please also see a message from Outlook Team

Ok, keep me updated if your issue fixed by reverting back to 16.24 .

I have been running like this for some 5 hours and no issues -yet!

If re-appears, will post accordingly .

Really do not think it is a hardware issue .

Been running Outlook version 16.24 after reverting back from 16.25  for three days now and issue of screen flashing has not re-appeared again.

This fix applicable to a late 2015 27" iMac - whether this applies to laptops ,other iMacs of a different vintage  etc. I really do not  know,  but now fixed on my iMac .

Hi,

I tried the downgrade today on my Macbook Pro with external 4K Monitor. Sadly the flickering came back after half a day having Outlook opened on the external Monitor...

Mine also came back sporadically with 16.24 after some days of stability , but much less than before ..Tends to happen in Outlook when you open a mail item in a dialogue box and then scroll ...this  is when it starts flashing  .

My problem is resolved though -converted to Apple Mail .

No more issues !!

Having downgraded to 16.23, I too get occasional flickering, requiring a logout.  However much less severe and less frequent. No issue with Apple Mail, but with Office 365 a lot functionality is lost.  Microsoft really need to sort this.
