Thank you this solved it for me!

For others, step-by-step instructions that worked for me are below.
Launch an Administrator/Elevated Command Prompt (https://appuals.com/how-to-open-an-elevated-command-prompt-on-windows-10/)
Navigate to your working temp directory by entering the following into your elevated command prompt

cd C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\Temp

In example directory above replace `user.name` with your windows login name
Now paste the following and hit Enter key

attrib +r %appdata%\..\Local\Temp\*.db*

  Is there a more permanent solution for resolving Outlook/Teams link causing 80-1000% system utilization than the work around posted in link below? I ask because this has to be repeated every time Teams updates. Please advise!
