Microsoft has finally accepted the problem, underlining it as an issue of high CPU use. Bug in question causes the CPU to grow up to 30 or 50% when a user types an email in the classic outlook app. The company said that if the work manager is open then users can inspect this behavior.

This affects users on all channels, including current, monthly, enterprise release channels and even in the Windows Insider program. Microsoft released Windows 11 V2406 in June 2024.
While Microsoft said that the Outlook team is investigating the issue, it has not provided an explanation for the problem. Users are surprised that what could be the cause of the display issue? This is related to the fact that CPU use spikes also increase computer power consumption.
