    Completely unacceptable solution to something they broke. They literally took a work around posted here after breaking something organizations use for years and suggested it as a fix.

    I would like to add that this issue only persists in Outlook. In Word and Excel it still works.

    The same issue was faced on me with the 2308 version of Outlook.

    And yes, I've noticed this after the recent updates were applied on some machines in my organization, whereas non-updated computers are working fine. I'm not sure what the exact Security Pach number but knowing that this thing was informed a while ago and still exists is quite frustrating.

    All the advice I could find on the web somehow follows the app or registry modifications, which is unacceptable.

    So, this is it - Waiting for the next "buggy patch" seems to be the sole solution, isn't it?

    Hi,

    not sure why Microsoft is not communicating to customers. I don;t think they are going to change it back/fix issue. We installed the workaround via group policy to our 100 approx users and all is well again.
