To make Outlook to use a specific graphics card (i.e. use a basic driver so it disables hardware acceleration).

1. Open Graphics Settings

   • Windows 11
     Start> Settings> System> Display> (section) Related Settings> Graphics

   • Windows 10
     Start> Settings> System> Display> (section) Multiple displays> Graphics settings

2. Select: Desktop app

3. Use the Browse button to add Outlook.exe (you can use Process Explorer to find the path if it is running or right click on the shortcut and go to properties.)

4. After you’ve added Outlook, select it from the list and press the Options button to select your GPU.

5. Use the Power Saving GPU: Microsoft Basic Render Driver to turn off hardware acceleration like you used to be able to do an easier way."

Excel 365 works much worse than the 2010 version, but maybe this method will speed it up until the patch is released?

I don't understand why Microsoft can't just restore the Disable Hardware Acceleration option?!
