Outlook webpage refreshes whenever emails with attachments are opened or writing new emails

Just as the title says, this began for the first time this morning. My Outlook webpage will refresh within seconds of opening any emails with attachments or opening up a new email to write regardless of email account or browser. I've tried on Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and my main browser, Chrome, to no avail. Have not found any solutions including clearing browsing history/cache/cookies, disabling any and all extensions, and even removing extensions from my browser entirely. I've also reset my password twice, restarted my computer, and don't know what to do from here.

    Having the same exact issue in Chrome. What helps me (may not work for everyone) is to log out close browser window, reopen, log into Outlook inbox. This fixes the issue for a short while, maybe a day, and then it comes right back again.

    Can't believe so many people are having this issue and Microsoft is silent.

    What ended up working for me was going to Microsoft Office 365, clicking on my email and the problem was resolved. I guess MS updated everything and my laptop did not auto correct the problem. It has been fine for 2 days now. Thanks to all who offered suggestions and best wishes.

    I'm also facing the same issue. This has been going on for a few weeks. Clearing cache works for a few hours or a day. But the redirects will come back sooner or later.

    This seems related to webmail only right now. Try using the New or Classic Outlook versions for error-free email. If you're a M365 user per your institutions remark, you'll have options to use either app. Pretty simple.
