Here is the original article that explains the issues with Microsoft November 2019 updates. https://borncity.com/win/2019/11/13/office-november-2019-updates-are-causing-access-error-3340/
The Office 365 should be rolled back to build 16.0.12130.20272 which is exactly what the bat file does. Office Updates should be left disabled until at least mid-December. We will be sending around an email reminding companies to turn Office Updates back on after the complete fix has been tested.
