Finding To Do slow recently
Has anyone else found To Do has become quite slow lately?
I've used it most days in the past but stopped over the last couple of months due to my work changing. I'm back to it now and find that it's taking 30+ seconds to bring my tasks up, 10+ seconds to respond when I complete them, and sometimes completed ones return to the list. It makes it pretty unusable, or at least very frustrating.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

- I've found a solution for slow To-Do. I've had a list of tasks for a long time with over 5.000 tasks (95% complete) and I've noticed that it slowed down the app on my computer.
So I created a new list with 0 completed tasks and moved the uncompleted tasks to this new list. Bam...the app is fast again.
That is why Microsoft told one of the users here to clean the flags of the e-mail. Many flags equals to many tasks on To-Do. If you have more than 5.000 tasks (or less, I don't know the specific number), chances are you are gonna have lag on the windows app.- Yes it works for me too, although there is still a small lag when I open the iphone app after delete/move 4000+ completed tasks. Thank you and you solved the issue at last! Microsoft owed you big time.
JabAir Thank you a thousands times over. I moved roughly 4,000 completed tasks to a new list and now the sync time from one person’s list to another is lightning fast.
Why doesn’t MS simply offer multiple ways to fix this? One option is merely to permanently delete completed tasks. Another is to offer mass deletion. Yet another option is to only allow 2,000 tasks. Regardless, it is shocking that they have not addressed this.
- This is an ongoing issue for me too (Windows 10 with the latest updates and Microsoft 365 apps installed on a powerful professional computer). It's frustrating when the app is so slow to process and add the items when I want to enter multiple sub-items in a list. The app is processing the input a lot slower than I enter new words and sup-items, it's really annoying.
- Its very slow! i tried to remove and re-install the app from the Microsoft store but this doesn't solve the slowing issue. Donno what is going on with Microsoft Store, many apps are not working properly and windows updates for windows 10 are very distributive! since they launched windows 11 upgrade many problems persist on laptops that has no hardware requirements for the 11. God bless Lebanon
- This has been an ongoing persistent issue for me
- Hello, from my point of view,, it works good... But you can also use todo for web and install it as a pwa !
HarrietL I've also found Microsoft To Do very slow in the past few days. I'm accessing it with a browser and on a Mac and a PC I'm getting page unresponsive errors.
