Outlook Stuck on Processing, Opens Immediately when Mouse is Clicked
After exhausting all attempts with Outlook 2010 Home and Business:
Disabling Add-Ons
Safe Mode (which opens instantly but cannot have that running 24/7)
Uninstalling Office and Reinstalling (restarting computer after uninstallation)
Compatibility Modes from original Outlook.exe
Deleting All Profiles
Re-creating Profile
Turning off Cache Mode
Disabling Anti-Virus
(Other Office programs open instantly)
While Outlook is opening and stuck on "Processing..." the very second the mouse is clicked, Outlook finishes opening.
If I don't click anywhere on the screen, Outlook will "Process..." forever until the mouse is clicked anywhere.
I opened Outlook and tested and tried this situation more than 10 times and the mouse click is truly opening Outlook during the "Processing..." period.
What could this be?

Is this only happening on one machine?
If happens on many machines then the problem is server side. Normally the mailbox server is at fault, where outlook is struggling to connect to the store.

Clean boot process
Start-type - msconfig- click on startup tab- click disable all...then click services tab- put a check on hide all microsoft services ...and then click disable all....click ok and then restart the computer in normal mode.
If everything works fine in clean boot then enable five startup items and services at a time to find the faulty software.
