Latest Office 2011 Update Makes Outlook Issues Even Worse

Today, just upgraded Office 2011 to the latest update, 14.5.9, and also ran the Apple update for El Capitan to OS 10.11.2. Before this update, Outlook was very buggy, with constant daily crashes. The only consolation was the option for an automatic alert to Microsoft. (As if that really makes any difference.) And now after these updates -- rather than an improvement -- I am experiencing even more issues with Outlook than before. Previous to these updates, Outlook would quit suddenly and unexpectedly. This behavior continues, plus now Outlook freezes unexpectedly. The only way to continue working is to Force Quit Outlook and reopen. When this happens there is no option to alert Microsoft. Is anyone else experiencing this worsening of issues with Outlook 2011?
