Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Starting in safe mode and closing out and reopening worked! Thanks.

AGREED. I'm absolutely convinced that MS employees don't actually use their own product.

Whether that's to help us or to advertise to us is anyone's guess, but if these buttons are along the left, new ones added will be SEEN, and I'm sure that's their main motive.

2022-12-13T15:30:32+00:00 I'm a MSFT employee and ABSOLUTELY use the product but.... I'm not in product development. To your point, it's baffles me how such smart, creative people let things like this happen. My productivity is directly impacted by this lost basic feature - honestly. Instead of scanning my taskbar for my active tasks (e.g., in process emails, in process Excel files, etc.) I have to do several mouse moves and clicks. How could they think NOT keeping that immediate visual access makes any sense?
