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?
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I added the key manually re-created that registry entry and/or set the value to 1, and tested it you can set to 1 or 0 ) just addding the key repaired the problem
This reg value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences]
"ReopenWindowsOption"=dword:00000001
Doesn't help.
Microsoft isn't listening to us. This has affected 26 computers for me. Go Apple
Mocrosoft, Microsoft REGEL DIT
Thank you. Microsoft created the problem. Their coders don't know what they are doing if they can't back out of their changes. I don't believe they know how to fix it because it would have been fixed by now. This is going on two months now.
