Far be it from us to suggest Microsoft is trying to force people onto its New Outlook application, but it has admitted Classic Outlook occasionally and mysteriously turns into a system resource hog.
It's a SNAFU that may just push folks over the edge to the new app – or to a full alternative.
The Windows behemoth earlier this week confirmed its software goes awry, and said users may experience CPU usage spikes of up to 30 to 50 percent and increased power consumption.
Users flagged the issue as far back as November 2024, and Microsoft has finally acknowledged that something odd is going on. Affected customers say it happens on Windows 10 and 11.
The issue can be observed by opening Task Manager and watching the CPU usage rise. Microsoft offered little in the way of a fix, saying only that "the Outlook Team is investigating this issue."
