Hi everyone!
The updated driver is now available via Windows Update as well. If you happened to disable hardware acceleration as a workaround before the driver was available, you should re-enable it to avoid potential performance issues. More info here on how to do that.
Have a great weekend.
Have you gone to File>Options>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings>Protected View and unchecked the "Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments" item?
I don't see that happening on my system. Could you post an example document that reproduces the crashing?
Thank you Doug, appreciate the advice

I couldn't get this to work through the Trust Centre but saving to the drive then right clicking, to properties and unblocking worked for me. I agree there needs to be a fix for it because it's very time consuming. I have a newish laptop with Windows 7 64-bit also but the problem only started today. Previously no problem so not sure what has changed. Very grateful for this discussion. Special thanks to Doug.
