Outlook taking ages to load after UPN change

I’ve started at a new org and there’s a user who’s come to me with an issue about her mailbox that my predecessor failed to fix

She had a UPN change 2 years ago when she got married and since then, every so often her mailbox takes ages to load, hanging on the splash screen for multiple minutes, no errors, before loading.

I checked Azure and Exchange, her UPN, email, on prem UPN, and SMTP are all set as expected and the same as other users who do not experience the issue.

We’ve tried New Outlook and OWA, both have the same issue but it’s not reproducable. It occurs every few days

• Internet is ~600mbps in her room so it’s not a connection issue

• Windows and Chrome are up to date

• Mailbox is 20.17% full (19.97%

• Issue persists across devices

• Other sites and apps load within a few seconds as expected

• Cache clear/reinstall doesn’t fix the issue

On the off chance the issue happens when I’m around I can check the console in Chrome but at the moment it’s not a constant issue.

Looking back through old tickets, occasionally it would throw “toomanyobjectsopened” error

And ideas?

If Thanos (MCU) showed up to earth with the Infinity Gauntlet, could Ben (Ominiverse) beat him? (objective is to remove the gauntlet)

Ben has the completed Omnitrix WITH Master Control (he can change between aliens with no timeout)

Thanos has the gauntlet with all the stones

Just started as the IT Tech in a secondary school, I’m used to a corporate environment where accidental (sometimes purposeful) damage isn’t uncommon but it’s not an every day task. Since I’ve started here I’ve been replacing the odd keyboard and mouse every day, and if it’s not that, the kids unplug the cables

From what I gather, it’s whenever there’s a cover teacher in the standards slip and the equipment gets vandalised

Has anyone dealt with this issue or similar? I’m looking to implement a process to reduce damage so I’m doing some research. Back in my day we’d plug our keyboard into the person opposite’s to mess with them but we’d never pull keys off or break the equipment

I (M27) live with my bestie (F26), we get on great, we’re really close, however we have opposing views on the house’s climate settings. We rent my parent’s house from them as they aren’t in the country

I like the house warm, not hot, not sweltering, warm. 18-20°, the temperature you don’t need to put a jumper on, but you won’t be hot if you were wearing one. On the other hand she’s an ice queen, she leaves her windows open 24/7, the coldest I saw her room get in the winter on our Home app was 9°, she’s comfortable with that, and we’ve agreed whatever goes on in her room is her business as long as it doesn’t affect me (I’ve close the windows before when WFH because of a gardening-loving neighbour)

Issue is, recently she’s got a cat. Nothing wrong with that, I actively encouraged it and love the little guy. But she insists we need to leave a window open for him to go in/out. I’m not here to discuss indoor vs outdoor cats, I’m on the fence myself and see both sides so that’s not what this is about.

It’s been so cold this spring, the kitchen window has been open constantly, leading to the Kitchen, Hallway, Living room and downstairs toilet all being >17 degrees without the heating on, and I haven’t been comfortable downstairs since then. Instead taking refuge in my upstairs office or bedroom

When she leaves the house she ignores my instruction on closing the window to avoid being broken into and voiding insurance, this becomes an issue in summer where she’ll happily leave every window open regardless if shes in or not and doesn’t see the issue

The cat has learned his egress point is the kitchen window and will sit and meow when it’s shut in then morning until he’a let out (I close it over night, not that my housemate does so I get to come

Downstairs to a freezing 14° kitchen every morning), so I see no problem why he can’t just wait for one of us to open the window for him

In my mind, its hard cheese, we dont have a cat flap, and no normal person leaves their windows open in winter, so as much as its not a compromise, I dont see why I, a paying resident of the house, should have to suffer a cold, what I would deem uninhabitable house just so a cat can come and go as he pleases instead of being let in/out like I’d expect & consider normal

In my mind, it makes sense that we’d just open and close the window as he comes and goes, but that’s not an option apparently and instead this window has to remain open all the time, on the chance this cat, who has a highly predictable schedule, decides to go out

I feel like I’m playing second fiddle to a cat who doesn’t pay bills or rent and my housemate doesn’t see the problem, but she hates conflict so wont talk about it any more than ww have. I can’t really see a compromise, as its a binary situation, the windows are closed, open, but AITIA for just wanting to be warm at the expense of a cat having to wait to be let in/out of my house?
