Microsoft To Do performance degrades over time

Microsoft To Do gradually slows down the longer the application remains open, requiring manual refresh cycles or full restarts to maintain usable performance. This memory leak behavior forces users to interrupt their workflow repeatedly throughout the day. Power users managing dozens of lists and hundreds of tasks are most affected, as the degradation becomes noticeable within hours of continuous use.
