Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the new Outlook for Windows causing Excel attachments with non-ASCII filenames to fail to open (EX1189359) due to a filename encoding error; a fix has been developed and is in validation, with workarounds to use Outlook on the Web or download the file locally, and further status updates expected on December 1, 2025.
