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

    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.

    Hi Diane,

    glad to know I am not the only one.

    Weird thing is that everything worked yesterday afternoon.

    Resumed working in the evening and the issue was there.

    All the usual tricks found on the web did not help. Everyhing else I tried didn*t either.

    Keep me posted on what the product team says to this.

    Thanks

    Cheers Andy

    It's working if I File > Exit to close Outlook then reopening Outlook opens both windows at the size had I have at. But just using right click, open in new window opens a small window. Here, the window is always 1285x1200.

    I can confirm that behavior. Have tried this before. But It is not a proper work around as this forces me to have at least 2 Outlook windows open at all times. I want to use the "open in new window" whenever I need it and have the proper sized window open up. As it used to be all the time ...
