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?

    Ook ik heb alle adviezen op dit Forum uitgevoerd: herinstallatie, updates ( ook 27/07 ) , cloud vinkje weg, register aanpassen. Maar melding blijft bestaan.

    Weet iemand of Microsoft echt bekend is met dit probleem , inclusief dat opstartopties niet kan worden geopend ?

    Want alleen een reparatie door Mocrosoft kan dit oplossen m.i.

    Hi Joe,

    They (microsoft) darn well should be! (Aware that is) As I had numerous chat sessions in addition to this thread (including remote access) attempting repair for Outlook with Microsoft Team (both tier one and tier two). To no avail aside from suggesting they will "probably'' have to refer to programmers higher up for a fix in a future update - this was around two-three/four weeks ago.....!

    Very frustrating I know as obviously not user/client error - rather M/s error.

    Sorry to hear none of the 'work arounds' provide a temporary solution for you which makes it all the wierd/strange this issue is.

    Almost time M/soft, in my opinion, make a statement about it or simply an update 'fix'

    Cheers

    Een vraagje: bij aanpassen register heb ik de waarde 1 ingevoerd. Kon kiezen bij de reopenwindowsoption voor hexadecimal of decimal. Heb dit gedaan met optie Hexadicimal. Is dit juist ? D A N K

    Personally Joop - I wouldnt have a clue in that regard. As I said in previous post it is NOT, I believe, the usual purchaser or owner of the product to rectify or fiddle with registry keys - rather the sellers or providers. That is Microsofts issue to fix our issue/problem!

    Thanks Terry for your information. Microsoft's mills turn as slowly as our governments :)
