I'm having trouble getting to Sent, Deleted, etc. It shows messages there, but nothing happens when I click on those folder names. I've had it for years, but it hasn't worked for almost as many years. You can try it, if you like -- address is in my sig. -- Terms and conditions apply. Steve Hayes |

In the Hotmail tab when there is a new message, I see a new message indicator "(1)" but when that tab is activated the message does not show in the Inbox until the tab/page is refreshed. I can do some serious troubleshooting on this, like restoring an older installation. If it's troublesome or interesting enough to do so. I suspect it's part of one or two most recent backups, if in fact the problem is on my end. I don't have Firefox installed but it worked as normal for me in IE11 & Chrome. If you have another browser installed, try it in that browser. Then you'll know whether it's a Firefox or a Windows problem. You're right. Apparently it's a Windows problem that occurred after the ninth of this month. Amazing how easy solving problems is when you have backups of Windows. Now all I have to do is pay attention to what was installed or upgraded (if it's done again). There have been no updates (since May 9th or even earlier this year) in Windows or IE that impact Outlook.com (fka Hotmail.com) functionality when using Windows with IE or 3rd party browser clients. The Outlook.com web UI, though, is undergoing changes to enhance the existing and also provide new features. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Doesn't necessarily require an update from Microsoft for something
to get messed up in Windows. Surprise. It could be a new piece of software. It could be a configuration change. Conceivably something could get corrupted. But whatever it was is gone, Hotmail is working correctly now. It was a strange problem. Very strange. I will keep my eye open for what caused it. |

It happens in Internet Explorer 11 too.
And, strangely, it happens seemingly randomly. It's happening again without installing or configuring anything. I suppose it could be my mouse. But that wouldn't explain why activating the tab does not automatically download the email (the tab must be refreshed). I'm using a wireless router, maybe that has something to do with it. |

After the uninstall it quit pausing every second or so and it would again load updates. (Since I saw no culprits I was looking through the task manager for anything I could kill to see if it was the culprit. Something Chrome runs at startup was the guilty party.) |

Something else just happened now that I recall happening before
but did not associate it with anything else. In Xnews, when I press the / key to jump to and open the next unread message, sometimes it jumps to the message but does not open it. That sounds like similar misbehavior. Wild guessing... I have set the wireless router to favor someone else's PC. Perhaps this stuff can happen when they are using it. Anyways, it's weird. I'm glad it doesn't mess up ordinary keyboard input. |
