Microsoft has finally fixed a known Outlook issue, confirmed in February, which was triggering incorrect security alerts after installing the December security updates for Outlook Desktop.

The company acknowledged the bug in early February after many Microsoft 365 users reported seeing unexpected warnings that "This location may be unsafe" and "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern" when double-clicking ICS calendar files.

The alerts were tagged as erroneous and are caused by the Outlook security updates.

One month earlier, it shared a temporary fix for a bug preventing Microsoft 365 users from replying to encrypted emails using the Outlook Desktop client.
