when I run outlook on my macbook air, it opens up multiple windows (up to 50) automatically. this in return freezes up my application.
i've tried to create a new account and reinstall outlook where it will run as expected for a few months and then it restarts to open up multiple windows.
this has been ongoing from running BigSur and now on Monterey.

Hi, one temporary fix that i found is a utility called "Officve-Reset", this will clear out all the caches etc and restore you Mac Outlook and not remove any data. The url is: https://office-reset.com
It works well, but eventually Outlook will become corrupted again.
I uninstalled and reinstalled many times cleared my accounts, made new users only to see the problem return in less than 24 hours. I am not sure how to get all the archival emails that were "on my computer" but I did manage to back up the outlook files before the outlook just stopped working. I have no idea how to get them back and am very disappointed as there are archival emails that I really wanted to be able to access. As for now Mac Mail is all I will use again moving forward. Microsoft technicians (both level 2 and 3 techs were not able to provide any assistance to rectify the problem over 2 weeks)
It took a few weeks for my problem to resurface, I was also Able to close the outlook windows, but then a day or two later the problem just overwhelmed my system.
I am using Outlook on a Mac Mini. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft apps in order to clear it out and also reset all my email accounts. But I can already see it starting again. So far its only one or two extra windows and I can delete them easily. When it get to larger amounts I too will be changing to Mac Mail. My only problem with that is all the archival emails I have. I think I will lose them.
Yes - I have given up and started using Macmail after agree spending 6 hours with Microsoft L2 and L3 technicians who could not fix the problem. they have lost me totally
