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

    Terry

    Hi Great White North,

    This is what I posted to Jason just before I posted to you.

    Hello again Jason,

    In response to Great White North's latest post regarding supplying full details please find updated information which I hope you will find helpful. My apologies for not including these details earlier, I'm totally new to this type of experience.

    Windows 11 Pro, Version 21H2, Build 22000.2176

    Outlook Version 2306, build 16529.20182 click 2 run.

    Bitdefender Total Security Build 27.0.14.78.

    Microsoft Edge Version 114.0.1823.82 (Official build) (64-bit)

    I do believe that I mentioned in my response to you that I had done so.

    "You will see that I have posted to Jason as well."

    My thanks to you for the effort you are going to on behalf of all of us, to try and get to the bottom of this issue, your knowledge and guidance are of immense benefit to us all.

    Regards

    Pete
