It has been quite a while since I installed EMET, and I don’t remember all the things that it checks. The message said: “EMET detected EAF mitigation and will close the application: Outlook”. In further testing, I noted a Sys Tray notification from EMET when Outlook crashed. I even downloaded a fresh copy and confirmed the version and even the build number were the same. Yes, I do have the current version of EMET (5.5). System is up-to-date with Important patches (but not with Optional patches to avoid any attempts to force a Win 10 upgrade). Possibly some recent Outlook patch is the culprit? Also not sure if EMET caused the crash or it simply detected that the crash resulted from some EMET violation. So not sure if this is related to the ATI upgrade or not. It is some time since I last added or updated a rule, so I don’t know how long the problem has existed.

Any time I open the Rules Wizard by any route or for any rule (even creating a new rule), the crash occurs. It is not just the ATI rule that is causing this. As soon as the Rules Wizard opens, Outlook crashes and a message appears indicating that EMET has detected an error and wants to know whether to send a dump to EMET support. Just upgraded to Acronis True Image 2016 (ATI) and went into Outlook Rules and Alerts to update the rules for ATI notifications.
