Creators update messed up Outlook 2016 - slightly O.T.
The machine my wife uses came with 10 and the all the updates have
installed without a hitch. But after the latest one, there is a minor issue with Outlook 2016 for which I've yet to find an answer. When it is first opened, all looks normal and new email arrives and shows in the Inbox. But you cannot do anything at that point. It is as if everywhere that should be "clickable" isn't - the mouse cursor doesn't change shape, the buttons don't do anything. The only recourse is to close Outlook and open it again. Then everything works. ? |

There are two choices - a "quick repair" one and a long one. Neither made a difference. |

There are two choices - a "quick repair" one and a long one. Neither made a difference. Some ideas here. https://www.qdoscc.com/blog/outlook-...oading-profile Is it possible a permissions dialog has opened *behind* the Outlook pane ? I have to mention that, as an excuse to freeze up. If a program is not responding, at some point (using Task Manager or otherwise), you should get some idea it is not responding. If the interface still accepts input events and just discards them, then the program is actually alive. And what they've done (block while syncing) is a design decision - most normal human programmers would put up a status message in a status bar, if the program was modal and was wont to run off and do things like that. You should always design programs so that the user will know what's going on. It's better to say "Syncing..." in a status bar and freeze, than to just freeze. And that article says Outlook 2016 has "hardware acceleration". Who would have guessed that ? Do they have a game of "Space Invaders" coded in there or something ? Paul |
