Yesterday, users of the Outlook desktop application noticed that many emails were displaying as blank pages. Microsoft has already fixed the issue.

“We’re investigating an issue with email message visibility in Outlook,” Microsoft tweeted of the problem yesterday. “Outlook on the web appears to be unaffected.”

Over the course of the past 24 hours, that status changed from Microsoft identifying the root cause of the bug, which is related to a Patch Tuesday update error. But by very early Wednesday, the problem was fixed, and users can update Outlook directly and restart the application.

“We’ve finished the deployment of our fix and we’ve confirmed via monitoring and user reports that the issue has been mitigated,” Microsoft announced at the time.
