this is my view in the "Day" tab. the blue time bar has disappeared. the one that advances with the current time.
In the week view, the blue line is there but it extends across previous days but not to the current one or future dates.
anyone know how to fix this?

Just adding my voice to those wanting to see this annoying bug fixed! I see people have been complaining about it for months now. Come on Microsoft, please address this!
Does anyone know how many "I have the same question" or how many replies in a post it takes before Microsoft will take an issue seriously?
After reading many of the comments, it looks like the Calendar time bar work in some instances (desktop Schedule View, mobile apps, web version, etc.), but not in the Desktop version in Day, Work Week, or Week views.
As you can see in my screen shots, it doesn't work in the Desktop version of Work Week, but does in Desktop version of Schedule View and Web version of Work Week. The fact that it can both work and not work in the Desktop version between the Work Week and Schedule View seems to indicate a bug.

+1. I have outlook on 2 machines, one shows this 'new' indicator the other for some miraculous reason still shows the old blue bar.. which I much prefer. I have no idea how I dodged this update on one machine but not the other, both machines are on the same domain under the same patch policies..
I'm sure my luck will not last.
I hate to break the news, but the "current time" is only relevant on the current day. Not previous days! How, in world do these changes get approved!. Sadly, I am finding this type of UI Experience changes in many products now that most companies have gone with cloud services and seem to have lost touch with actually usability.
When looking at only the current day, all you see is a little bump on the left side. You barely notice it! Oh well, just another reason I have to dislike this product intensely.
I'm very disappointed in the Outlook current time bar. Until recently I had a small, and in dark mode it was red I think, line (or bar) that showed me where I was in my day. It overlapped multiple calendars to keep track of meetings, time priorities, and my team's work. It WAS super helpful and easy to use, and something I checked on multiple times a day. It was the starting point when referencing my calendars every time I'd open Outlook. It makes sense, you click and ask yourself, "OK, where are we?"
Without that current time bar extending into TODAY, my overlay of calendars feels more like noise, something I have to deal with, instead of something that helps me be productive with my day.
Also, why does it matter what time it is now, but during a previous day? The fact that it shows your current time for Yesterday makes zero sense. Has anyone ever needed or used that information?
@Microsoft - Please fix the bug and add back the tiny line/bar to show the current time for TODAY that made your product valuable.
