outlook slow

Using Outlook on web browser.

Starts off ok but as the day progresses, Outlook becomes slower and slower to the point that it takes a minute to open an email, when you type an email there is a delay before you see the words come up in the email and then unable to attach documents.

Can resolve by closing the email web page on Chrome or Edge and then reopening the program again but after a while, slows down again.

    You are already applying the solution.

    Both Edge and Chrome open a lot of processes and can become memory hogs when left running for a while (as few as 15 to 20 minutes.)

    Close all browser processes occasionally from Task Manager [Ctrl+Shift+Esc] to free up this memory and get a fresh start.
