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!

    I just started having this issue, and your suggestion to change the display settings worked. Thank you!!

    No 2nd monitor and upgraded to version 2412, but no help. Restarting Outlook fixes issue, but only for a short time. Maybe time to try the old "cntl-alt-gates" a few times too - lol.

    Though the issue of things not fitting to a ridiculous degree has allegedly been addressed, Microsoft has taken the resizability for the Reminders window away from us. Please fix it by returning it!

    To everyone who misses the resizeability, we may be able to get more traction if everyone upvotes one of the posts for this issue in the Feedback Portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/5bdbe8e8-d376-ef11-a4e7-6045bdb238dc

    Hi

    Since the normal Outlook repair did not work, let's try this option: https://support.microsoft.com/office/7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b

    Scroll down to "Running Repair didn't help. Now what?" and click on Download and follow the steps.

    This will completely uninstall Microsoft 365 and then reinstall it.

    Regards

    Casper
