GogTasks slowing Outlook 2013 startup

[Mahesh]

Is there any way to speed up the startup of Outlook 2013 with GogTasks set to load when Outlook starts? Sometimes I have had to wait a whole minute and more, and Outlook says its mostly GogTasks' fault!

Cheers,

Hi,

The reason it takes some time to load GogTasks is not because of GogTasks itself, but initialization of the foundation of which it builds on - the .NET Framework. Usually this takes 2-5 seconds. I have never heard or seen any cases where it can take a whole minute so that makes we wonder what the problem is. 

Can you try to open GogTasks from the command line and see how long it takes there? Start a command line by clicking Win+R, "cmd.exe", type:

cd c:\program files (x86)\gogtasks
gogtasks -f

You should se the GogTasks settings screen show up within seconds - or does it take minutes here as well?

How fast a computer do you have by the way? What CPU you do you have and how many GB of RAM? 

Kind Regards,

Thanks a lot for your response. Just loading GogTasks from the command line didn't take long - may be 5 seconds at most. It seems the problem was with Outlook trying to load too many add-ons at startup, but still not clear why it singled out GogTasks as the one making it slow. Anyway, I have removed most of the unnecessary add-ons but have forced Outlook to always enable GogTasks to load at startup. It seems fine now, starting up in a few seconds 

My computer has an Intel i7 CPU with 8GB RAM, so I'm pretty sure its not to blame.

Cheers,
