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

    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.

    Hi - I had the same problem - I went into the system display settings and switched the scaling from 125% to 100% and then back again to 125% (which is my preferred setting). Then I exited Outlook and then relaunched it and the problem was solved!

    Hi

    Thank you for the screen prints.

    Try this please:

    Close Outlook.

    Outlook.exe /ResetFolders from the command line.

    If that fails:

    Control panel >> Programs & Features >> Select Office >> Change (not uninstall), Make sure Quick Repair is selected and click on Repair.

    What I meant by removing and adding your account is described here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/1fa900ae-6dc8-468c-b754-10292f7ee47a

    There is one more step after this one that we could try if these options do not work.

    Regards

    Casper
