I have had outlook 365 for years. Nothing on my end has changed. Suddenly (as of yesterday) every time i click on New Email a pop out window opens up (and the signature within my email is HUGE. About a 48 font yet the font showing is 12) This has never happened before and it is QUITE annoying. I have searched within the OPTIONS of Outlook and I cannot find anything with the option to open a pop out window when composing a new email. So there appears to be nothing for me to check/uncheck in this regard. As far as I know i have had no updates to Outlook that would have made this happen. Has anyone else had this happen and have you figured out how to stop it?????

    I cleared my history at the suggestion of an IT tech at my university. Now my msn account is back to an older format. In addition, it is displaying my incoming mail in a pop-up format that has MAIL - DOROTHY McCLELLAN at the top of the page. It displays it as a letter and doesn't allow me to edit or respond to it! What a pain in the neck! How do I 1) return to the more recent msn.com screen and 2) How do I stop everything from being transitioned into this pop-up format?

    Point taken. So, since you sound knowledgeable, if I was running Windows 11 do you believe I would get better service? That I would get an answer to the posted question?

    Unfortunately, Microsoft is slow to fixing or responding to any issues arising from desktop or laptop software along with any Windows 10 issues. Instead, they're pushing their online apps to use. Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2021 is just a red headed stepchild now. If you notice, all the online supported apps are filled with advertising along with the push for subscriptions to eliminate ads and pop ups. It's all about the money and always has been. I tend to use the Google apps with chrome more often now, less junk mail and Ads. If I have to save data in the cloud for whatever reason, I use Google drive instead of Microsoft's drive. Side note: I own stock in both Microsoft and Google. -LOL
