How can I stop Outlook 'new' Calendar snapping to the time of day, rather than showing all hours of the weekly view

Hello - I am trying to get Outlook 'new' to stop scrolling down or snapping to the correct time of the day. It moves the whole view of the week down so that by the afternoon I cannot check what appointments there are the next morning without having to scroll up wards each time. It happens every time I return to this week's calendar after checking future weeks.

I have tried to adjust my 'working times' - that doesn't help.

Only way I can get a reasonable work around is to change the timescale to 60 mins, but that's not a great solution as it leaves everything veeery small and then I have early morning hours e.g. 2am on view constantly, which are not core office hours!!

Could anyone help me find a way around this?? Thanks!

    I just moved to the "new" outlook app and this is driving me crazy. How have MS not come up with a solution to prevent the calendar moving with the time. I want to be able to just see my full working day/week on the screen at the same time and not have to keep scrolling up or down to see availability. The old outlook did it perfectly and they're trying to fix something that isn't broke.

    Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure someone in "Day" view had an epiphany that scrolling to the current time of day would be nice. The specifications forgot to restrict this use case to "day" view, and the scrolling happens for week view (or possibly month view too) by mistake, which ruins the experience. Could you add an "if (view_mode == "Day")" to this feature maybe Eben-Ezer?

    Hello Eben-Ezer,

    I have the same issue as all the people in the comments, and I tried both workarounds (working time + time zones) unsuccessfully.

    Personally I'd say I don't need an option, simply that new Outlook remembers where I left my calendar the last time I saw it. It doesn't have to be current time or start of day, simply leave it where it is (at least until the application is restarted).

    Cheers,

    Xavier

    I have the same problem. Not sure why the default would not be the old way, with an option to scroll. The scrolling view is less functional in my opinion.
