Outlook 2013 stuck at processing

This one took me days. While not directly related to CGP, I'm placing it 
here simply as a reference.

Outlook 2013 (running on Windows 8.1 and then Windows 10, would open up 
but be stuck at the processing stage. So you would only see the "splash 
page" not the Outlook windows itself. Running Outlook /safe worked 
without a problem. Disabling all Addins did not help.

Here is our solution.

Run Outlook.exe /safe:1

Then go into the menu and select View. Then remove the tick from "View 
by Conversations".

That's it. I have no idea how or why it was ticked but as soon as the 
check was removed from the box, all of the emails showed up in Inbox 
properly and Outlook opened properly.

The reason I am posting is I had blown away the profile and it did not 
fix the problem.

Also, as a side not, an Office Upgrade went through in June. With 
Outlook v15.0.4833.1001 you cannot open "mail" from within Control Panel 
to check on the profile. Within Outlook, check for updates and download 
the update. It fixes the Control Panel issue.
