I reported this problem to my contacts at Microsoft, and they found out what you are experiencing is a bug due to the "presence" indicator that comes through Outlook and Skype for Business. The bug is now slated for fixing, but there is no timeline on when the bug fix will be released. In the meantime, please try the following in Microsoft Project 2016 to disable the "presence" indicator for resources:
- Click File > Options > Display.
- DESELECT the "Online status next to name" checkbox.
- Click the OK button.
Does this help? Please let us know.
