you have Outlook 2013, 2016 and probably running windows 10. PC pretty good spec (8+GB RAM, SSD). However Outlook runs extremely slow, mainly during searches or just saving attachments to the file system., Normal suggestions, Check Anti-Virus, Disable Add-Ins make no difference.
Cause
After many a day patching, removing add-ins, repairing. I came across a article with something related to windows 10 with slowness in Windows folders. (Link at the Bottom for Ref:). The penny dropped. We are a heavy cloud users with Office 365, SharePoint, One Drive etc.., and a "feature" of Windows 10 is to always show folders and files recently accessed, so If I have SharePoint URL`s, Other remote locations, which are either not online or just slow really seems to impact the performance of windows explorer and adversely into Outlook !!
Cause
Simply remove the above options by :
1. Opening Windows Explorer
2. Click the 'view' tab.
3. Click 'Options' button.
4. On the 'General' Tab, clear the two privacy options, and click 'Clear' File explorer history
Close, Open Outlook. WOW. Back to some kind or normality
