Outlook 2021 Contacts Window Opening in Fullscreen

Anonymous

I just installed Office 2021 and I configured outlook. When I click on the "People" icon on the low left-hand side, it opens a window that occupies the entire outlook. This new window only contains one contact and that is it. I removed the contacts for now and only left 1. Please see the screen below. If there were more contacts they would show on the back of the wind ow. I cannot do anything to bring them to the front

    I'm also experiencing this issue. Only in the Contacts screen. One contact pops up and blocks access to everything behind it. Unable to make it go away. All other Outlook functions (ex Mail, Calendar) work fine.

    Just wanted to be added to the list of folks who encountered this recent issue. Same as what others posted. Everything in Outlook works fine except for People view in Contacts. I will monitor this thread for any updates.
