No Dave is not alone in the slow of Outlook. I am experiencing the same
problem.

I said "basically alone" as the vast majority of people who installed it are
not having problems.

What type of email account?
Are you scanning email with antivirus and/or antispam software? (That will
cause issues.)
Is Outlook slow in safe mode?
Was the profile (and pst, if not using exchange) created in Outlook 2007?
Does it work if you make a new profile? Don't delete or copy the current
one - make a new one with a new name (ie, Test). If you use multiple accts,
start with just one in the profile and remember to leave mail on the server
if using POP3.

The answer to your question is yes, you are basically alone with your
problems. For the vast majority of users, it is much faster and there are
no
problems. There are a few who have problems but in the cases I'm aware
of, a
manual reboot fixed the problems (this is a second reboot, after the one
the
update required).

If you want MS to do the work, open a support incident. They'll probably
have you uninstall some or all of the updates, or make a new profile or
restart in safe mode... it's a lot faster to try some things yourself -
you
won't get paid for it regardless. You already did the reboot. Try safe
mode
and a new profile... or save time and uninstall.

Now... if you upgraded from an older version and did not make a new
profile
and especially if you are using a pst created in Outlook 2002 or older,
make
a new profile. You should make a new pst if you are using an older ansi
format pst.

Diane, you do realize what you are suggesting? I am supposed to do the
work of MS and receive no pay?

My initial question - am I alone with the noticeably slower behavior
with
these new updates?

Thanks, DH

The initial load should be slow as it needed to update the pst/ost but
after that is should be faster. If everything was installed at once,
I'd
probably uninstall some of the updates and reboot. (Windows will
reinstall them later.) As for which updates to uninstall, I have no
idea
which one(s) would be the best candidate - maybe all the windows
updates?

I just got back from almost a week away and just installed more than
ten
Windows Updates. I see an Office Suite Pack (SP2) for Office was
installed.

This is not a big deal but when I click on In Box when, say, Calendar
is
displayed, I see, for a split second, a blank window that states
'loading' or something like that. I _never_ had that very slight
delay
before. FWIW, I also have rebooted to see if that might have an
effect;
it didn't.

Am I alone with this? I can live with this but I always thought
things
got faster .... not s l o w e r.
