Microsoft says the Outlook email client will crash when opening and reading emails with tables such as Uber receipt emails.
"When opening, replying, or forwarding some emails that include complex tables, Outlook stops responding," the company explains in a support document.
To make matters worse, emails with the same table contents will also cause the Microsoft Word app to stop responding.
Last month, Microsoft addressed another Outlook issue where Outlook Search did not display recent emails on Windows 11 systems in desktop apps.
In January, Redmond also fixed Outlook search issues triggered by Windows 10 security updates released in November 2021 and later.
As BleepingComputer reported in December, users have also experienced search issues in Outlook for Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, and Outlook 2016 after upgrading to Windows 11.
