Outlook Folder Pane displays as empty

After applying the Outlook 2013 Widows Update  (KB2817630) released on Sept. 10, 2013 your Outlook Folder Pane displays as empty.

Outlook-Folder-Pane1

To resolve the issue close out of Outlook and go to Control Panel > Programs and Features >View installed Updates and remove all instances of KB2817630 I had two versions installed and removed both.  After re-launching Outlook the folder pane was back to normal.

Open Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 or 2013 secure temp olk folder location.vbs script

A useful script, especially for those high maintenance users who insist on editing excel or word documents they open from Outlook and then frantically calling your help desk complaining they can’t locate files they saved while working in Outlook. Place the script on their desktop and have them run it first before calling your help desk.. Works with Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 and now also with Outlook 2013.
