Currently having issues with attachments.

Attachments received outlook refuses to open and then corrupts the file

Attachments I try and add to emails refuse to add and Outlook states the attachments don't exist. Drag and drop doesn't work, and usual attachment function is hit and miss.

This is a nightmare.

Answer 4

A few months now, it's just progressively getting worse. Outlook crashes regularly now as well. It's like it's sick and just degrading with each 'update' Microsoft force on me. I haven't changed any settings, the PC has been reset, the program has been closed and restarted. Nothing makes it better, it just gets worse with time.
