Hello,
Across our company, people using the New Outlook for Windows are suffering the same issue with attachments not opening, previewing or allowing us to save, specifically .pdf file formats.
I've tried running an online Office 365 repair tool, I've also changed the default program for .pdfs from Adobe Reader to Edge on a hunch it was an issue with that. We're up to date on all Windows updates, and switching back to the Old Outlook works as normal.
The same issue occurs when trying to view the file with Outlook Online too.
Is there reported problems with this or a fix I can test/apply to a group please?

My husband and I are trying to troubleshoot this issue that I'm having myself. We noticed that Adobe pushed an update yesterday 2/24/2025. Maybe that patch has something to do with it?
Thanks for this. We have a client this is heavily affecting, but I can no longer find this issue in the service alerts. Does anyone have an updated link so I can follow it or get notified?

It looks like there’s an ongoing issue with opening attachments in OWA Shared Mailboxes. Microsoft is aware of the problem and is working on a code fix. They expect to start deploying the fix by the end of Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and hope to resolve the issue by the end of Thursday, February 27, 2025
