it seems to take forever to open an app or to get onto to the browser. I also noticed a very slow response in Outlook. I was just curious to know if Microsoft cares or if they will do anything about it. Probably not.
What computer are you using? How much RAM, what type of processor? Is it a computer with Windows pre-installed, or a custom system where you had to install the OS yourself? Are you on a Mac computer, trying to virtualize windows?
Looking forward to your response.
I noticed most of the problem on my Acer computer with very little memory and probably a slow processor. Things are better on my work computer, which is a lot more powerful. But outlook is still pretty sluggish. I know there really isn’t an answer to this except that my computer needs more power. But I thought I would mind the wisdom of this site.
I know that certain screen readers can be a little sluggish with Outlook, especially the newer Web app Outlook that Microsoft introduced a couple of years back. However, Outlook Classic works amazingly well. I do not know what screen reader you use, but if you use NVDA, there's a nice little add-on to make Outlook Classic work even better for you. Ultimately though, I would recommend using a different email client. I don't know how many here actually use Outlook to be honest, besides myself and a few others.
As for your computer itself, yeah you definitely would do well with a newer, more advanced computer. Personally I would never recommend Acer if you can help it, and more RAM is always good.
That's why I asked for more info in my first reply to you, because I was shocked that you were having a problem with applications being slow to load. I don't have a, "top-of-the-line computer", or anything like that, however the laptop I use is pretty decent, and applications are pretty instantaneous. Except for the aforementioned newer Outlook that I mentioned above.

More information needed please
