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?

    This worked for me when I unchecked the store in Cloud option. No more panel. If it comes back, I'll do as the poster above did and re-check the option back to on. Otherwise, I'm good! Thanks for the tip.

    As a matter of interest these are the fixes for Outlook in yesterdays update mentioned in my post above, that is:-

    Outlook

    • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to fail to show Top Search Results in some views.
    • We fixed an issue where Microsoft 365 links failed to launch properly.
    • We fixed an issue that caused users to receive errors about having too many Actionable Messages open more frequently than expected.

    Lets hope this threads two issues get a fix soon!!!??
