Outlook breaks on Windows 11 24H2 if you have this plugin installed

According to Microsoft, users who have updated to Windows 11 24H2 may run into issues when opening Outlook if they have Google Workspace Sync installed on their system.

Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook makes it easier to manage and organize Google Workspace emails, calendar events, contacts, notes, and tasks from directly within Outlook, making it nearly essential for anyone who works with both Google Workspace and Outlook.

Unfortunately, after updating to Windows 11 24H2, you might observe that Microsoft Outlook fails to launch altogether — and because of this, you can’t uninstall Google Workspace Sync. The solution is to update Google Workspace Sync to version 4.3.68.0, which should get everything back in order again.

For those who are still running older versions of Google Workspace Sync, the Windows 11 24H2 update has been blocked and won’t be available again until Google Workspace Sync is updated.
