Otherwise, behavior is normal for the clients, with no network issues or other misbehaving applications.
The problem I'm encountering is that for some clients, Outlook 'freezes' when the send button is pressed in a newly composed email, and outlook stops responding for up to a minute, until the client recovers and sends the email. When I initially faced this problem, I did not find any resources online, therefore sharing this with you, as I am pretty sure others will go through this issue too.Setup is Outlook 2007 SP2 for clients, Exchange 2010 SP1 UR4 for the server, running on SBS2011. Well that’s it 🙂 Outlook will go back to normal behavior. As soon as you apply this change, Windows 10 will ask for your permission to restart the machine. You can find that under the Administrativetab in the Region settings of the Control Panel. The resolution was simple: uncheck the box called “Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support.”. Bing Translator Google TranslatorĪfter having couple of remote desktop sessions with IT, we ruled out a an attack and came to the conclusion that this was an Encoding problem caused by a beta Windows 10 feature. I then checked if any of my external contacts/customers have been exposed and reported this to IT. Google detected it as Chinese while Bing as Japanese and both were not able to translate it. Maybe someone hacked my machine and this is a message in their mother tongue? Is this a ransom message? Why is it that subtle though? Why not contact me directly? I checked out both Bing and Google Translators. What surprised me even more, was that: content was continuously changing with every message.Īt that moment, my head then rushed into wild conclusions. To my surprise, indeed and for days my responses to meeting invites were being replaced with that mix of Asian characters. So naturally I thought he was messing with me 😛 and I checked the Sent folder in Outlook. He told me that my meeting invite response was not in English. This all started when a colleague of mine pinged me over Teams and asked me if I spoke Chinese. I was not able to reproduce this behavior using Outlook Web Access or Outlook for Mobile. So sharing one wild story I went through in the past couple of days 😉 Whenever I responded to a meeting invite using Outlook on Windows 10, it misbehaved and replaced my message with random content using an Asian mix of characters.
