Hi Stan,

Does this issue occur randomly?
Are there any particular steps to trigger the error?To help narrow down the issue, please try to start Outlook in safe mode (Press Win + R, type "outlook /safe", press Enter.) and see if there will be any improvement.
Besides, it is suggested to repair Office 2016 via Control Panel and check the result.
Any updates, please feel free to post back.

Hello Yuki Sun,
Many thanks for your prompt response and here are my answers -
1. Outlook seems to be affected mainly when it is first started. After it automatically restarts it seems to be OK.
2. I have tried safe mode but I still encounter the problem.
3. I have tried a repair vis the Control panel and that does not resolve the problem either.
I hope that this helps someone identify the issue.

Hi Stan,
Thanks for the update.
Please try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to repair your Outlook data files. To do this, please exit Outlook , go to Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost) and follow the relevant steps.
If it didn't resolve your issue, please try to create a new user profile and add your email accounts to the new profile to check the result:
Create a new user profile
Hope this can be helpful.Best regards,

Hi Yuki,
Many thanks for your response.
I have already found and repaired errors in my .pst and .ost files but that did not resolve the problem.
I have now followed your advice and created a new profile which I shall test before reporting back.
Kind regards,
Stan

Hi Jason,
I have already tried your suggestions during my conversation with Yuki and the problem remains.
It is interesting that this problem started to occur after Micxrosoft issued a July 2017 update to Office 365 and the updates included outlph.dll which is in the faulting module path. I keep regular backups of my system and, thankfully, have a copy of the original outlph.dll which I have now reinstalled and shall await the outcome of my test

Hi Stan,
How's everything going with this issue?
Was creating a new profile helpful?
As per your concern about the July 2017 update to Office 365, I tried to upgrade my Outlook 2016 to 16.0.7766.2096, but didn't meet the error when first started. Have you checked if other users in your environment encountered the same issue?
Besides, you may also try to perform a clean boot in Windows, then have a test and see if issue persists. This helps eliminate whether the issue was caused by any software conflicts:

Hi Yuki,
I am most grateful for the suggestion but my Office 365 ProPlus is at Version 1725 (Build 8201.2171 Click-to-Run) which is the latest version.
