Issue
When trying to launch any of the main Office 365 applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint or OneNote) the Microsoft trouble shooter pops up and reporting that said application 'has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." When reviewing the error by selecting 'More Information" a EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception is logged. In this case it was only affecting one user's profile. The applications launched without issue in a fresh account.
