I use the desktop version and it opens with midnight at the top instead of 8am like is used to

  1. the Web version opens to the current time but the desktop version opens to 12am (see screen shot)

I would like it to open either to the beginning of my day (at 8am like is used to) or the current time is fine as well (like the web version does)

  1. my desktop version is

I can scroll down every time but its annoying. My work hours are set to 8am-4pm. I am not using New Outlook because you cannot move the folders around. This issue is only a few months old.

    I am having the same problem and have checked with other people in my organization who do not have the same problem.

    Mine doesn't seem to do it all the time and in fact has only done it once today.

    As I cant work when it is like this I closed and restarted outlook and it was ok again.

    Something triggers it to start doing the 12am window but I cant figure what...

    I find it ridiculous that this has been an issue since January and is still a problem. I don't know why Microsoft is expecting individual IT teams to do an enterprise fix given it's clearly the code that's the problem. I thought the New Outlook might be a good option - but there was no warning that it might cause problems. Thanks, for that too, Microsoft. Now, like all these and I'm sure, many, many others, we are doomed to scrolling down every single time we look at our Calendar. It is appalling that you can't find a fix for this, that it's gone on for the better part of a year. I suspect nobody is working on it and eventually, we'll be forced to use the new Outlook which is worse than the old and which clearly, nobody wants to use. Thanks for nothing.

    Thank you, Mackenzie, for putting into words exactly what I've been feeling. I'm not that tech savvy and trying to find a solution was futile with my limited knowledge. I appreciate that you have validated my frustration.

    Hopefully, a grassroots effort can be inspired to get somebody to address this!
