February 5, 2019, update for Outlook 2013 (KB4462141)

This article describes update 4462141 for Microsoft Outlook 2013 that was released on February 5, 2019. This update also applies to Office Home and Student 2013 RT.

Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2013. It doesn't apply to the Office 2013 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home (see Determining your Office version).

This update fixes the following issues:

• Assume that you have Outlook 2013 and a Skype for Business application installed on a computer with Windows 10 or later versions. When the Skype for Business application automatically starts, a prompt for Skype for Business credentials appear behind other windows.
• When you try to open the Rules and Alerts dialog box, the dialog box doesn't open and you receive the following error message:
  

  The operation failed because of a registry or installation problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, reinstall.
