Outlook desktop client emails missing text in body

Anonymous

I have Outlook downloaded from my Office 365 subscription and am running Outlook on a Windows 10 PC.

Today, around five hours after I started working, the text in the body of the email stopped showing, either all missing or just showing the first line.

When I look in the reading pane, all I see is "Hi Bee," and then nothing else. I have checked the emails on my iPhone 7 Outlook and Mail apps, and the body of the message is showing correctly.

I have disabled all COM Add-ins and I have run the full repair on the application, closed down the PC and restarted after a one minute break but still, it doesn't show correctly.

Any help gratefully received!

    This appears to be affecting a number of users. No word from MS, hope they are aware. Sounds like a bad update (again)

    Exactly the same thing happened to me about six hours ago!  Can't find a fix.  Did Microsoft do an update?
