Most of the people on this thread reverted back to the prior version I provided above, 2015.10.2.2218.  Just a coincidence, but I accidentally updated to the new version this past Saturday and it still did not work.  If whatever you did happened after that,  we need someone else to guinea pig and let us know.  One time this week is enough for me!  I'm on stand by....
This is a help forum. Your answer really doesn't help anyone ???  :(
The problem never effected me so my reply that I still don't have any problems also isn't of any help.
Hopefully someone who actually had a problem will try the latest version to confirm that the problem has actually been fixed.

My answer certainly is relevant.  MartinZ from Avast has stated that this problem with Outlook has been fixed.  I'm advising him that IF this update was prior to last Saturday, it still does not work.  I was anticipating him to chime in with a response to clarify that time frame.  And yes I did ACTUALLY have the problem and provided a temporary solution above with a link to a prior version.  Additionally, I was concurrently running another thread for the same exact issue, i.e. I was one of the originators!  (Sorry bob3160, strange comment!)

The comment isn't strange. The refusal to try the latest version however is.
Telling Avast that you aren't willing to try the latest version which MartinZ states addressed the problem also makes no sense.
I already stated that I never experiences the problem so I can't veryfy if your problem is fixed or not.

The latest program version, 10.2.2218, is the same one from April 20th.  And that's the same one I tried last Saturday and that's the same one I tried back in April.  Nothing has changed.  MartinZ suggested to restart your machine and it was going to be fixed!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe virus definitions can fix a program.  The current program version has not changed and neither has the problem with Outlook.

Quite a few thing s can be fixed and changed through a VPS update. It doesn't always require a program update.
I'm running the latest beta version 10.4.2231 and the latest VPS update is 150911-9

It is not the actual virus definitions, but they can send small fixes/program updates in the same update

The avast Auto Update that updates the Virus Definitions can and does cover engine updates.

Wondering if anyone can confirm that this problem with Outlook and the right click menu disappearing, has been resolved with some recent updates?  It began with program version 10.3.2223 and pertained to Outlook circa 2003.
