Question: Why does the Outlook Plug become disabled?

On occasion the Outlook plugin can be picked up as a slow COM add in at which point it will automatically disable the plugin.

Selecting to load the plugin by voiding the performance check is one workaround to enable the add-in on start up

It's generally not advisable to use more than 10 add ins as your outlook will display significant difficulty with processing small actions.
