New outlook feels sluggish, after a few minutes and then after a minute or two a message popup "Restart recommended We detected that your session has unusually high memory". Restart and it works again for a few minutes. feels like a bug or memoryleak. After updates applied today. (Fully updates system)

Running classic outlook solves the problem, but just a heads up. If no one has a fix :)

    I had the same issue. Even after a restart Outlook was using over 2.5 GB of memory and not responding. I went to Outlook Web Access, deleted a few thousand messages from folders that keep status updates, alerts and such and emptied my deleted items folder. I restarted Outlook again and now it's using about 450 MB. It looks like maybe it's trying to keep all messages in memory.

    I can confirm that I am also having this issue as well.

    I rebooted once and the problem went away for a few minutes then I got an alert again. I ended up using OWA or/and mobile app.
