• Hides the Apps chunk that contains the Store button on the Home tab ribbon when it is not supported in the current version of Outlook 2013.

• Improves the translations of the Reply with Attachments application program interfaces (API) and the Store button in multiple languages in Outlook 2013 to make sure that the translations are accurate.

• Improves translations of some terms related to Skype for Business in multiple languages to make sure that the translations are accurate.

• Fixes the following issues:

  • Office Upload Center may crash when you try to restart Office 2013 Upload Center while it is running. This issue occurs on devices that have touch hardware installed.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You use the MAPI over HTTP transport protocol to connect to a mailbox on an on-premise Exchange server in Outlook 2013.

    • You use Outlook 2013 on a domain-joined computer.

    • You log on to the computer as a different domain user from the one who owns the mailbox.

    In this scenario, you cannot connect to the mailbox in Outlook 2013. This issue occurs if one of the following conditions is true:

    • The Exchange server host name resolves to a private IP address.

    • The computer is configured to use a web proxy and the Exchange server host name is in the proxy bypass list.

  • When you add telephone numbers that contain spaces to a contact card in Outlook 2013 in which the display language is set to Hebrew, the telephone numbers are displayed right-to-left, which is unexpected.

  • When you exit Excel 2013, the related process (Excel.exe) remains for a while and system resource shortage occurs.

  • When you use the Send by Instant Message function to attach a copy of a document to an instant message in an Office 2013 application, the application may crash. This issue only occurs when you do not type anything in the Message text box before you send the instant message.

  • When you use accessibility shortcuts to execute command on the ribbons in Excel 2013, the performance is slow. This issue occurs if you have some active spreadsheets running concurrently.
