Outlook keeps opening multiple windows on macbook (macOS Monterey ver 12.4)

Anonymous

when I run outlook on my macbook air, it opens up multiple windows (up to 50) automatically. this in return freezes up my application.

i've tried to create a new account and reinstall outlook where it will run as expected for a few months and then it restarts to open up multiple windows.

this has been ongoing from running BigSur and now on Monterey.

I can't even close each of the tabs. The only way for me to close the multiple Outlook tabs is to quit Outlook. When I open it up again, all the tabs reopen :(

The fastest solution to this issue that worked for me:
1. Force quit Outlook.
2. Open Outlook again. Due to the force quit, no windows will be minimized.
3. Click on one of the Outlook windows to focus on Outlook.
4. Hold Cmd+W in while all windows automatically closes.

I had the same problem with multiple windows spawning. As mentioned, using either File > Close from the menu or Command W works to close the windows. But clicking on the red close icon does not. (At least for me)
