There are reports that this can be caused by an addin, either
Norton or Acer figerprint reader (eDataSecurity)
are you able to open Outlook using the safe switch?
Is there an update or FAQ on Acer site regarding the fingerprint reader?
You could try this;
1. open the regsitry editor
2. got key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\
3. Locate the add-in (eDataSecurity)
4. set the LoadBehavior to 0
