Re: Office apps stops working when another Outlook started or running
ShaneRBlake I rolled back from 2107 to 2106 (just changed the beta channel to preview instead) and all the office apps fly super fast now. There's something wonky in the beta build. It FEELS like it is I/O bound: CPU activity is only 15%, no disk or LAN activity and I have 32gb of memory (only using just above 8gb when the apps freeze). Other apps are affected and slowed down or made less responsive including task manager (though, once TM is running it works the way it should). The apps are competing for a resource it feels like. I get the same symptoms on my much less powerful laptop.2.6KViews1like1CommentRe: Office apps stops working when another Outlook started or running
Hi Evan Thanks for taking the time to reply. The funny thing is, there is no way to use the application to submit a report because both apps freeze up almost instantly when the second application opens. Trying to open a third application (say Outlook, then PowerPoint, then Excel) only the splash screen of the third application will appear and won't progress any further. I need to use Task Manager to kill all Office processes and then just use one application at a time with the current beta build.2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Office apps stops working when another Outlook started or running
I have the identical issue on two very different machines as well. My Surface Book 2 and my Ryzen-based desktop both experience a freeze. It's not just Outlook - It seems to be any two Office applications (e.g. Word & Excel or Outlook & Powerpoint) causing the symptoms.2.6KViews0likes0Comments
