Hi Tim_Mayo, we are running this version and we are still experiencing the same issue. Some desktops are showing near 1100 iops, all generated by OUTLOOK.EXE.

  Has anyone created a support case with Microsoft about this? Just wondering what the feedback was.

Have a fresh new Dell XPS 13 7390 out of the box. Teams version 1.3.00.13565 (64 bits) and Office version 2005 (build 12827.20268) and still have 40% of disk usage for an outlook process.

Usage is only 40% because SSD is very fast but still...after days, weeks and months with this disk usage SSD will die prematurely...

  After workaround, disk usage is between 0 and 5%
