Hi

Outlook on Chrome browser on Mac.

Outlook keeps refreshing the page every time I'm trying to do something - type an email etc. It's just started doing this and I have no idea why?

How is this resolved?

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Email

    Think I discovered something.

    When I log out, and then log in again, the problem disappears.

    I'm not sure, but I suspect that the problem has something to do with the "don't log me out" option.

    Normally if I left the Outlook window for too long, it would require to login again anyway.

    And that's where things has changed lately. Since a couple of weeks Outlook hasn't prompt me to login after long inactivity.

    Instead it starts doing this constant refreshing thing. It's like it's trying to log out, forgeting the "don't log me out" was enabled, so it keeps refreshing on and on.

    But that's just my theory.

    It's happening across multiple browsers and multiple platforms. This is not a user or account issue. That much was obvious from word one.

    This is the new normal now. You have to restart your browser every time you want to reply or write a new email.

    **** morons.

    yeah, this is working for me too... but, this must be solved by MS completely.

    Thanks for this workaround.

    If restarting your browser is less painful than logging into your enterprise server, that also works and, so far, hasn't logged me out.

    Thank you. Was having the same issue and 7 day delete browser history resolved it immediately.
