Outlook crashes when drafting emails

Outlook 365 has started crashing after I have typed a few words while I am writing emails.

I have tried all the methods above without success.

After some experimentation, I found it was crashing when I was writing in German or Italian, but not in English or French (and not when I entered random characters on the keyboard).

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the language packs, but this had no effect.

I have found that disabling the automatic spellchecker prevents the crashes.

In Outlook: File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect > uncheck Check spelling as you type

Same problem here.
Trying to check the spelling in German crashes Outlook.
No problem with German spellchecking in Word, though.

I have the same problem. As soon i write in German, Outlook 365 crashes.
I followed the advice of Evelyn Mathias and it works. I deactivated auto spelling.
But even, when I am finished and try to check Review-Spelling and Grammar it crashes again.

Even in save mode and all add on deactivated.

if i try to switch to the new outlook everything is working OK, but this software is far from usable.

Any solutions?

I have the same issue: composing emails in German with "check spelling as you type" causes Outlook - and now Word - to crash after just a few words.

Also, if I disable "check spelling as you type" but then run the spell checker afterwards, it also causes both Outlook and Word to crash.

I can use Outlook and Word in English without any problems. My guess is that it's a problem with the German language pack.

Interesting that it only happens on my laptop, and just started a few days ago. On my desktop PC so far no problems.

Would be nice to hear something from Microsoft support, as this makes my laptop almost unusable.

The issue still pops up from time to time, but I have found that switching to the "New Outlook" using the switch in the top right corner under the close window X and then switching back will fix the forced closing.
