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?

Dank, dank. Stel zo'n deskundig antwoord zeer op prijs. Ik heb voor het eerst een registeraanpassing gedaan. wel voorzichtig en precies.
Maar: zojuist heb ik de hexidecimale 1 gewijzigd in decimal. Hopelijk werkt dit wel. ik laat het weten en vriendeloijke groet ! Joop de Bruijne
... Is er iemand die de register aanpassing heeft uitgevoerd en nooit meer last heeft gehad van de melding ?...
Hi Joop de Bruijne:
I believe that registry edit was first suggested by ForrestGump on 06-Jul-2023 in post # 2571699 in 77JOE84's Outlook MS Pro+ 2021 Start-up Options Disappeared in the AskWoody forum, and several users replied in that thread that re-creating the ReopenWindowsOption registry entry (value type = REG_DWORD, value = 1) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences stops the “Outlook closed while you had items open. Reopen those items from your last session?” prompt from appearing when Outlook is started. However, this workaround does not fix the problem where the Outlook settings at File | Options | General | Start Up Options are missing.
This registry edit seems to stop the "Outlook closed while you had items open...." prompt for most users but doesn't work for everyone. However, it's possible the registry entry you created didn't work because you used a hexidecimal number for your value instead of simply entering the digit "1".
I'd suggest that anyone wanting to try this workaround follow the instructions in the MSOutlook.info tutorial Editing the Registry at https://www.msoutlook.info/question/290, which shows how to add a registry entry called "ShowBcc" at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences (value type = REG_DWORD, value =1). If you follow those instructions just substitute the value name "ShowBcc" used in that example with "ReopenWindowsOption".
From Google Translate:
Ik geloof dat registerbewerking voor het eerst werd voorgesteld door ForrestGump op 6 juli 2023 in post # 2571699 in 77JOE84's Outlook MS Pro + 2021 Opstartopties Verdwenen in het AskWoody-forum, en verschillende gebruikers antwoordden in die thread dat het ReopenWindowsOption-register opnieuw werd gemaakt invoer (waardetype = REG_DWORD, waarde = 1) bij HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences stopt de "Outlook gesloten terwijl u items open had. Heropen je die items van je laatste sessie?” prompt verschijnt wanneer Outlook wordt gestart. Deze tijdelijke oplossing verhelpt echter niet het probleem waarbij de Outlook-instellingen in Bestand | Opties | Algemeen | Opstartopties ontbreken.
Deze registerbewerking lijkt de prompt "Outlook gesloten terwijl u items open had..." voor de meeste gebruikers te stoppen, maar werkt niet voor iedereen. Het is echter mogelijk dat de registervermelding die u hebt gemaakt niet werkte omdat u een hexadecimaal getal voor uw waarde hebt gebruikt in plaats van simpelweg het cijfer "1" in te voeren.
