My Outlook 2016 "Start Up Options menu" has no drop down submenu

I have Outlook 2016 on my home computer. Within the last few weeks, on reopening Outlook, I have received the message "Outlook closed while you had items open . Reopen these items from your last session ?".

I have tried to remove this function via File; Options; General; Start up options, but  my Start up options title does not have a drop down menu !

I have opened and reopened the Options menu, but to no avail. Nor is there an option to press on the heading "Start up options" which is located between Privacy Settings and Attachment options

I'm sure that I must have closed Outlook in the past without closing all items, but this message has only begun appearing within the last week.

Is there a fix?

    Thanks for that update Jason - most appreciated.

    From this end my pop up has still not re-occurred as long as the 'Store Outlook Settings to Cloud' remains unticked.

    If I tick it the pop-up will return. Thus have left unticked.

    Although drop down menu of course under Start Up still remains without any options.

    Cheers
