My Outlook (and lots of other programs) started slowing down dramatically yesterday. I have JAWS 2018 and Windows 7 32-bit Pro on a Dell Latitude. I checked on system restore and saw that a Windows "critical update" was installed the day before. I restored back to before that point (and it took several hours) and now the system is clicking along beautifully. I've set my Windows update to *not* update automatically and to ask me in advance which to download and install. I'm hoping that I can somehow avoid getting that nasty "critical update" installed in the future.

In the past few weeks, it seems that my Outlook program has become very sluggish in receiving my new e-mails. When I would open up my laptop in the morning and press F-9, to receive my new e-mail's and press Control & the home key all my new unread e-mail's would pop up instantly. In the past couple of weeks, when I do the procedure mentioned above, no new e-mails would pop up. It now takes a very long time and pressing many keys to try and receive my new e-mails. I also noticed, that if I send myself a test e-mail it takes a very long time for my test e-mail to appear on my list. In the past, as soon as I would press the F-9 key, I would hear the ping and the test e-mail would be on the top of my e-mails instantly. The only difference that I see with my outlook program is that now when I press the insert key and the page down key Jaws says, the number of e-mails I have, the number of unread e-mails and this is a new addition in the past couple of weeks, it says receive/send and of course at the end it says the usual 10%. Could this new addition of Send/Receive cause the problem in my Outlook becoming so sluggish? I do not know what I may have pressed to cause this problem. Can anyone give me a detailed fix to avoid this sluggish Outlook problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
