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

    Some significant issues appear to be introduced in a recent update. I say update because I noticed the change immediately when it happened, and it was during a regular day when it was fine at the start of the day, Outlook was booted in the morning and changed while Outlook was booted (same session all day).

    Checked - Version 2407 Build 17830.20138 Click-To-Run

    Many people are reporting (sharing screenshots of) the same issue. Per my previous reply, I also see other UI and functional problems. Most recently, intermittently the Dismiss button disappears and does not reappear until Outlook (or Windows) is rebooted.

    The troubleshooting steps in the replies assume there is something incorrectly 'written' to the user's instance of Outlook. There are many posts about this issue, and many people reporting it. It seems to be a change in the design of the dialog pushed by an update.

    I had the same issue, and found that it reverts back to regular size if I go to the calendar page, then close outlook, then reopen. Somehow this resets the reminder box to normal size.

    I tried this because a few months ago I had an issue with Outlook all the sudden making my font extremely tiny. One of the forums suggested going to the calendar, then closing outlook, then reopening and font reverts back to regular size (which works!). I still get this bug occasionally too, but until Microsoft fixes these ridiculous issues, at least going to Calendar, closing, opening seems to somehow refresh outlook. Hope that helps!

    I'm afraid it didn't work for me either, but thank you for the suggestion
