Outlook Reminder window has become much smaller

My Outlook's reminder winow has suddenly become much smaller

So instead of being able to see a list of reminders that have not yet been dismissed all that can be seen is one reminder at a time.

I have to manually scroll to view each reminder.

I can find no way to get the window to revert to its normal size.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

I have tried running "outlook.exe /cleanreminders" but this does not work

I am running Windows 11 64bit and Outlook 2021 Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20078

I have tried to upload two images but the upload fails each time

Thanks

    This fixed the problem for me, thanks.

    I had a meeting which I had attended, but I didn't get around to dismissing the reminder.

    Per April's post, I switched from the mail to the calendar, and closed outlook via the close X in the upper-right corner of Outlook's window. I didn't bother to do anything with the reminder window, I left it visible. When I clicked on the X ("the close box") the main window closed and the reminder closed, too.

    Then I went ahead and opened Outlook again. The reminder wasn't visible. However, as you guys will remember, if you don't dismiss a reminder, it will come back, and so this one did, and it was displayed in a proper reminder window with all necessary pieces visible.

    Thank you very much. This worked for me: "I go to the calendar page, then close outlook, then reopen. Somehow this resets the reminder box to normal size."

    I hope Microsoft will fix this bug.
