RANT - This really pissed me off. 

Desktop Outlook continually crashed yesterday/today, so after checking all the 
disk and system integrity things, running Scanpst on .pst and .ost files, etc I 
hid the files, started a new Outlook profile, and reconfigured (totally 
rebuilt) my mixed PST pop3, mapi, and IMAP email system that synchronizes 
desktop, laptop, tablet and phone via outlook.com (not Office 365).
Waiting for 6Gb of emails and attachments etc to fill up my new .ost, I decided 
to check who else in the interweb had a recent, similar problem.
Yes. KB3097877 of 10November is known to cause the continual crashing of all 
versions of Outlook. Workaround: disable download of images with emails. Fix: 
Uninstall the Windows Update (named), reboot and check for available Windows 
Updates (the faulty one has been replaced).
Thanks, Microsoft devs 😒
