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

    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

    Unfortunately changing and resetting the scaling did not work, but thanks for the suggestion

    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

    Hi

    Uninstalling & reinstalling Office seems quite a big job as I have several office 2021 apps installed.

    It seems odd that Outlook is otherwise working fine, the reminders "pop up" when required, and it is just the size of the reminders window that is the problem.

    There another thread on the same subject, which I have only just discovered.

    A few other people have this issue where the window was the correct size and then is now the reduced size.

    Unfortunately no solutions were forthcoming.

    Could the problem be with a corrupted entry in the registry?

    thanks

    Steve

    Hi

    Outlook.exe /ResetFolders unfortunately did not resolve the problem and the quick repair did not work either.

    As I have two email accounts and don’t fully understand why either of these would cause a problem with reminders for the calendar, I have not removed these

    thanks
