About this tag
Outlook PST issues on Windows 11 have been a major concern following the January 2026 Patch Tuesday updates.

Microsoft released an emergency out-of-band update, KB5078127, to fix the cloud file I/O regression that caused these problems. The update is cumulative and available via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. IT teams faced significant disruptions, highlighting the impact of patch regressions on enterprise productivity. Discussions also cover broader OneDrive folder backup behaviors and the challenges of managing PST files in cloud environments.
