Outlook Slow or Freezing

Why this happens and what it looks like

Popular apps can use more resources than expected. Browsers keep tabs in RAM, Outlook stores large databases, sync tools scan thousands of files, and antivirus can spike during scans.

Tune settings, limit background activity, and clear caches to reduce the footprint without losing features.

Quick steps to improve performance

1. Review Startup apps and disable non essentials.
2. Clean Temporary files and Windows Update leftovers.
3. Update drivers from your PC or motherboard vendor.
4. Pause cloud sync during heavy work.
5. Reboot and retest, then fine tune.
