Microsoft's new Outlook takes more than 10 seconds to open an email via notifications, while Outlook Classic opens instantly on Windows 11!

The funniest part? If I ignore the notification, open Outlook manually, find the email myself, and click it, I can finish faster than the notification flow.

It's all because Outlook for Windows is literally Microsoft Edge running Outlook .com in a browser window.

New Outlook runs through WebView2 with around 10 separate processes: GPU process, service worker, utility processes, manager, and more. It uses roughly 490MB to 636MB RAM while idle, compared to Outlook Classic sitting around 117MB to 148MB.

CPU usage is also worse: around 4% idle on new Outlook versus under 1% on Classic in my testing.

Microsoft shut down Mail and Calendar, keeps pushing enterprises toward this web wrapper, and still wants people to believe it is the future of email on Windows.

SHAME!

Windows 11 June 2026 update, which was supposed to make PCs faster, is crashing some PCs with BSODs, breaking OneDrive integration in File Explorer and custom folder icons, and causing other problems.

We're seeing reports that Windows 11 KB5094126 is causing boot failures on some PCs, mostly HP enterprise hardware.

The worst reports involve BitLocker recovery loops, Black Screen of Death/BSOD failures, Secure Boot signature errors, and error 0xc0430001.

Affected models appear to include HP EliteBook 840 G10, HP ProBook 460 G11, HP Engage One Pro G2 AiO POS, HP ZBook, and some Dell Precision systems.

The likely trigger is Secure Boot certificate handling + EFI partition space. On older images with a 100MB EFI partition, Windows may fail to update Boot Manager because there isn’t enough space, especially on HP systems where firmware recovery files can bloat EFI.

There are also File Explorer cloud integration issues. OneDrive, and in some cases Dropbox or iCloud Drive, may stop opening from the sidebar/tray shortcut after KB5094126.

Microsoft also confirms desktop.ini hardening can break custom folder icons or localized folder names from untrusted sources.

KB5094126 is important, as it fixes 200+ security bugs, but be careful, as it could cause havoc on some PCs.
