Outlook 2016 "open in new window" doesn't remember size

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

    I wish they would fix this asap. I have the same issue with all Office Apps. 

    According to MS this was never a feature that Window Size and Position would be saved.

    I personally know that it worked for the last 20+ years without being a formal feature.

    So Microsoft: Fix this !!!

    This problem started in on all 13 of our office machines 2 weeks ago. It's happening in Excel also. Its a huge efficiency issue on top of being extremely annoying. What's the fix or when can we expect a fix? Dumping this issue off on a message board where the programmers may see it and might work on it if they feel like it is not an answer.

    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.

    Any news on this ? Should be an easy fix. It worked before. Not sure what combination of Windows and Office Updates killed this basic function that worked all the time I have worked with Windows and Office in the last 20+ years ...
