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?

    I have noticed that this problem seems to be just in Outlook (not in MSTeams or Microsoft 365). And I am starting to believe that this is a baby step towards trying to phase out Outlook (on the computer) all together. If that's the case its a shame... because all of these MS processes seem to work together as needed. Why not just fix this little thing that is so frustrating and let us all work how we like? I might be showing my age a bit but... I was never a huge fan of Outlook over the years but I know it and I'm more comfortable with it than the other MS calendar options. And I like knowing my data is in my machine and not just out in "the cloud". This shouldn't be that difficult to fix.

    I agree.  We all know that big SW companies ALL want to move apps to the cloud.  That's ok for occasional use when your pc is not handy, but not for full time use.

    HTML5 is just not as flexible as apps on  pC.

    If I am forced to do email in the cloud I will look for other options.

    I too see the same garbage. 

    I'm totally ok if MS wants to change it up. But allowing users to keep functionality they have become reliant on is also needed. Now it is more difficult to use Outlook, and they have degraded the customer experience. And what was gained by the change?

    Again, I'm cool with tinkering the code and UI. But tinker and test, tinker and check, tinker and wait and see, ASK first and tinker, tinker and ask.....its not complicated. But just tinker....that's called tinker and screw.

    I agree this is is horrible UI and needs to be fixed.  At this point if I could just turn it off, that would be an improvement.

    Can anyone please explain the logic and/or user friendliness value of this? Why show line through past days and not current day?
