Outlook 2010 slow to load profile
I have 1 user out of 20 that outlook takes over 6 minutes to load. I can log onto his account from another computer and it takes 20 seconds, OWA works fast too. I deleted the OST files(2), no change. He does have 2 profiles, outlook and his name. No one else has this issue. All other computers are Win 8, and his is 8.1. Mine is 8.1. Hardware is identical. It was working fine until a month ago. The desktop, documents are on the server. The ost files are local under users/name/apdata/local/..
Outlook is part of office 2010, so I do not know how to uninstall just outlook, to reinstall it.
Or do I delete his profile(S) from control panel? There are 20 identically (hardware/software) configured computers, and this is the only one to go bad after 10 months. Everyone is running Defender Virus scan.

Yes, I tried the Safe mode. And it still took forever to run the profile. We are using a local exchange server. This user only has 1 account on the exchange server, yet he has 2 profiles in his email (several others do also) one profile is exchange, and the other is his name. There are 2 ost files in the app directory and both are updated daily. Some users have only 1, their name, while others have 1, exchange, and others have both. Only one user has a problem loading outlook. Do you know what is correct? Or do I delete both profiles and set them back up?
Thanks

on a one user computer, there were 2 mail profiles, "username" and "exchange" I deleted both, then added user email account, the profile was the users name. Everything ran just fine after that. The note from Alexios saved my from jumping to the re-install office. I do not know how the user got 2 profiles. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Probably as you have mentioned already you will have to recreate user's profile because something is corrupted
But first try testing in Outlook Safe Mode if the problem still occurs and post the results
1. Click Start | Run.
2. In the Open box, type: "Outlook /safe" (without the quotation marks)
Notes: There is a space character between Outlook and the forward slash (/).
3. Click OK.
The above will tell us if an Outlook add-in is causing the problem
