Outlook does not reconnect after waking from sleep mode

Hi,

When I leave my computer idle so it enters sleep mode outlook does not reconnect to server and cannot update the latest emails. Closing the program down and starting again means that outlook will not even open. The only way I can get outlook to open up again properly is to restart the PC.

Is there a better fix than this, as it is rather annoying than to have to restart all the time.

I can confirm I have the latest updates for windows 11 and Microsoft office programs.

Thanks

Thanks so much for involving yourself in this craziness. I appreciate it, and I appreciate you.

While I am a Dell user (XPS 15 9570), I don't run ExpresConnect. I hope those who do will find your tack useful and effective.

Again, thank you. I promise to share whatever I find out here.

    This is it.

    WLAN and ethernet we're both active and connected on all devices (Dell, Win11). As soon as I turned off autoreconnect on the WiFi and ran on wired connection only the issue has been permanently resolved.

    I had a similar problem and m.bob's resolution worked for me.

    Background: I had Hyper-v feature turned on. I had the problem with Outlook not syncing after sleep. I also had a problem where my WiFi would sometimes not connect to the internet, even though it would connect to the WiFi. I went into "turn windows featues on/off" and turned of the Hyper-v feature, and rebooted. After this, I also had the problem of my WiFi adapter being part of the "Bridge" and not providing me any WiFi connection at all. To solve that problem, I removed the adapter from the bridge.

    Now, when my computer wakes up, Outlook syncs. Koodos to m.bob.

    I have the same problem but disabling Chrome updates in Services did not work for me.
