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?

    And it's fixed again ... spooky that today I started outlook and up came the 'updates available' bar across the top.

    After doing a PC restart, Outlook had been updated to Version 2201 Build 14827.20220 - and it is definitely fixed with the timeline going across the current day.

    I agree they have not fixed it. I have not see an attempt to do so.

    Due to my work I managed to reach into Microsoft management and raised the concern about this bug in writing.

    The the written response was "its not a bug, it's designed to do this."

    Since Outlook web and Outlook desktop apps behave different (the web version works perfectly) one of the two interfaces must have a bug - no matter how Microsoft tries to argue this.

    For whatever reason, they are failing to recognise this problem and failing to listen to Customers and failing to act. Pretty poor.

    I suspect their support agents are outsourced and can only see the "working" Outlook for Web version.

    And we off again - MS fixed the timeline bug in the desktop application and NOW IT'S BROKEN AGAIN :(

    Now with the latest update to Version 2108 (Build 14326.20784), the time bar again now STOPS to the left of of the current day - it DOES NOT go across the current day in the DESKTOP Application version just across the previous days ... but it does go across the current day in the WEB version.

    The previous days background is very slightly greyed out, but so subtle it is hardly worth it.

    So congratulations, your developers have REINTRDUCED THE OLD BUG that you had fixed, and you've put it back in the latest update ... UNBELIEVABLE QUALITY CONTROL ON YOUR VERSION UPDATES.

    Took MS well over a year to fix it, a less than a month to break it again ... thanks a lot !!!

    Thank you for your response. I am still on V2102. I'll have to ask my IT dept. and see if we can update.
