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 am having the same issue with several machines running win 10, but running different versions of Outlook. My experience is that it is happening on Office 2016 and on Office 2019.

    I have tried to reset every view, but with no results.

    Also tried:

    outlook.exe /resetnavpane

    outlook.exe /cleanreminders

    outlook.exe /safe

    Interesting, when Outlook is running in safe mode, People view looks like Business Card view.

    Thank you!

    I use Office 2016. Recently, in outlook, when going to "people" the view is being blocked by one contact that covers most of the other contacts. It cannot be closed or moved. I have found others using different versions of Outlook having the same issue. Here is what my screen looks like now:

    Please see this article for instructions for turning off the Reading Pane on the People view to workaround the issue, Outlook cannot display contacts in People View (microsoft.com).
