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?

    Hi Pete,

    Just to let you know that my MS Outlook 2016 (Perpetual) has not had anymore pop ups after unticking Store Settings to Cloud.

    Work around but not a fix!

    I googled that setting and appears it relates only to MS Office 365 !?....

    And, still doesn't fix the absent drop box options under File > Options > General > StartUp

    Cheers

    Hi Terry,

    Pleased you saw the game and enjoyed it. I only saw the first half of the match, and it was great.

    Have a crack at the work-around posted by Drcard:)) if you want, it worked for me.

    Pete
