Clearing out the Office folders in the user's Windows profile
Uninstalling/re-installing Office (with fairly recent updates slip-streamed in)
Disabling add-insUser is on Windows 10 64-bit with Office 2016 32-bit. Exchange version is 2016 CU12

Hi Lanky Doodle,
What’s your account type? Exchange, POP or IMAP?
Does it happen when sending or replying to some specific emails? For example, to certain recipients? Emails with large attachments or linked files?
I’ve noticed the version 16.0.4690.1000 is not the latest. We can install newest updates for both Office and Windows to see if it helps. Reference: March 2019 updates for Microsoft Office
What’s the size of local data file? If the data file size is large, Outlook will easily freeze or crash.
To find your data file:
- Open File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
- Select Data file tab.
- Choose your account data file and click “Open File Location…”
The recommended size would be around 10 G. If it is too large, please follow the steps in this article to archive your mailbox.
Besides, some antivirus software will integrate with Outlook client which can also leads to this issue. Please temporarily close these programs to see the results.
Any updates, please feel free to post back.
Regards,
Perry

Hi,
Sorry for not getting back sooner.
Account type is Exchange (in online mode, we don't use cached mode for desktop PCs)
It is totally random - sometimes to external recipients, sometimes to internal, sometimes a mix
With out without attachments, sometimes even with really simple email body content (brand new emails and emails with both really short or long conversations)When I recently re-installed Office for this user, they were on an even much older build of Office 2016 before-hand. Installing 16.0.4690.1000 didn't help. We have other users on exactly the same combination and build versions (me included) who don't have this issue!

Hi Lanky Doodle,
According to my research, this issue may occur if Outlook is configured in Online mode and you have a large nickname cache.
We can follow steps below to clear nickname cache.
- In Outlook, on the File menu, click Options.
- Select the Mail tab.
- Scroll approximately halfway down until you see Send messages section.
- Click Empty Auto-Complete List.
- Click Yes to confirm.
- Click OK.
Regards,
Perry

Sorry to hear that. Does this issue happen to specific user? This user can add his account to another computer and then test the result.
We can also create a new Windows user.

Hi
Apologies for jumping on this thread, but we too are seeing the same issue reported.
Users are getting Outlook closing randomly when sending (only seems to happen on sending emails). We are a Citrix Xendesktop house and users are using VDI with Win10, Outlook 2016 (version is slightly different) we have Windows updates from March 2019 including the VDI image.
When the issue occurs the event logs below islogged (very similar to original poster). We have tried many things including emptying the AutoComplete but still users report the problem, removing Add-ins but still issue occurs (which is frustrating users!)
Faulting application name: OUTLOOK.EXE, version: 16.0.4795.1000, time stamp: 0x5c0fddd4

Again, sorry the delay!
Yes, it seems a specific user (no-one has mentioned it). I'll try a different computer next.
This is a Windows domain with on-premise Exchange. Creating a new user is not really an option (and the link you provided is for local accounts). And just to confirm, this is only happening since upgrading from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016 - it was absolutely fine before.
