This article describes update 4484343 for Microsoft Outlook 2016 that was released on May 5, 2020.
Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home (see What version of Office am I using?).
Known issue
After you install this update 4484343, third-party add-ins or applications may crash when you process attachments through drag-and-drop or the clipboard.
This issue occurs when Outlook sets data in a publicly documented clipboard format (FileDescriptor) and the .NET Framework-based application does not correctly marshal the clipboard data. Applications may not have seen this issue earlier because Outlook previously set the FILEDESCRIPTOR.dwFlags field to 0. Outlook may now set some combination of the FD_CREATETIME, FD_ACCESSTIME and FD_WRITESTIME flags in the FILEDESCRIPTOR.dwFlags field, and provide valid FILETIME data in the ftCreationTime, ftLastAccessTime, and ftLastWriteTime members of the FILEDESCRIPTOR structure. To mitigate the issue, developers can update their code to read the count of FILEDESCRIPTOR structures from a pointer to the FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR structure by using the Marshal.ReadInt32 method, or update the FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR definition so that the Marshal.PtrToStructure method can successfully marshal the contents of the FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR structure. See change in Outlook (April 2020 "2004") update for more information.
