Hi Everyone,

since yesterday my Outlook 2016 via Office 365 (64bit Version 1808 Build 10730.20102) does not remember the size of a new window opened -> e.g. Calendar or Tasks.

Everytime I resize it, close it and reopen it, it will open in a smaller Window on the wrong postion.

I have rebooted, started in Outlook in safe mode, disabled all Add-Ins and also reinstalled Office ... nothing helped.

This is really annoying and I need a fix for this.

Example:

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    My previous Outlook 2010 was no problem in many year same fixed position on windows desktop.  

    Now, I bought a new Office 2016 Home & business (for Window 7 Pro) on yesterday.   I realized that Outlook 2016 didn't fix same size & position save remember.   Unfortunately, I tried that was .

    I read these forum who user tried that it on since 14 months ago.   What are Microsoft team doing fix it now or ignore it?   Because everyone who paid these and ask repeat request it.

    Everyone been waiting for update.    PLEASE immediate fixing a re-position & size put save the "Outlook2016.ini" under the Windows directory.    That just small fixing simple !!

    Thanks

    Exactly. It's not a solution I would like, because I generally don't want to use two windows.

    Hi Rudy,

    does not change the issue apart from everything being extra large as 200% is recommended on my high res Thinkpad T470s. It will keep opening a small window all time time.

    Cheers Andy

    My window opens even smaller than yours and the usual tricks to force a size aren't working here. I'll let the product team know. Thanks.
