Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 18, Microsoft Windows 11 and Windows 10's Outlook email software is becoming more and more perfect, but errors such as Bug cannot be avoided. If users look for dates after December 31, 2029, they will "travel" back to the 20th century. This is a bit like a "millennium bug" problem.

The "millennium bug" software design problem makes the two-digit date field unable to adapt to the new century after the end of 1999. CTOnews.com learned that early coders used the shortcut and never thought the software would be used for so long.

Microsoft's Outlook malfunction Bug is not as serious as the previous "millennium bug" problem, but it also needs everyone's attention and waiting for Microsoft to solve it.

A sharp-eyed information security expert discovered the problem and posted details in a LinkedIn post.

In short, the Outlook application does not let users navigate to dates after December 31, 2029, using the date field [Ctrl + G] and abbreviated years. If they type 01Accord 01Accord 30 Outlook, it will send the user back to January 1, 1930.

Users can test through the control: type 31-12-29, and they will log in normally in the future. If you enter the date in its entirety, they seem to be entering the correct area. You can use GUI normally after 2030 and click the entry.

Compared with the human survival challenge, Microsoft Outlook date failure Bug seems to be a small matter, but it also needs Microsoft to fix it.
