Outlook Hanging - Outlook Settings to Change

Problem

You find that Outlook hangs for many minutes. You might need force it closed by clicking the X in its Task Bar icon or use Task Manager to End Task.

A Windows Update caused a Prophet process to not successfully run in the background.

Please update Windows. See this Knowledgebase Article.

If Outlook still hangs, please change these Outlook settings:

Click File > Options > Trust Center, and click the Trust Center Settings button.

Click Attachment Handling in the left list.

Check the box to "Turn off Attachment Preview". Click OK.

And also from File > Options , click Advanced. In the Display section, check the box to Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

Newer updates of Outlook won't have the Display section.
