Windows 10: Microsoft Outlook Communications high CPU usage

The mail app on my laptop is linked to my gmail account. The Microsoft Outlook Communications has high CPU usage when I click the refresh button in mail. Most of the time the usage is between 10% and 20%, but some time it can be more than 30%. I never notice this problem before. It happens almost every time since Mar 15. Sometime this high CPU usage disappear after a couple of minutes. Most of the time it won't and I have to close the mail app. Restart the laptop doesn't fix it.
OS: windows 10 Home, version 10.0.19042
Mail version: 16005.13426.20688.0

HIGH CPU USAGE!

Hi harrsionsouthby

Thank you so much for your prompt response. I downloaded and ran the tool but no problems were detected. All processes passed. A useful tool to have though. CPU usage seems to have improved though after making a few tweaks suggested on the Microsoft Community.
But now I'm battling more with high disk usage.

Regards

 

Microsoft Outlook Communications over 20% CPU

My computer is currently in a "clean boot" state after preforming the steps from the link in a previous post.

Task manger is showing Microsoft Outlook Communications Is over 20% cpu usage. Is this normal?

What do I do next?

Edit: After a few minutes it appear Microsft Outlook Communications has settled down. It is now at 0%.
