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

Adrienne Sherwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, your step-by-step instructions were perfect. I did what you recommended, rebooted, took a walk, came back, and voila! Outlook Calendar shows workday hours (not midnight). I appreciate you!
Thanks for taking the time,

Hi Karen, I was not referring to the app, but to the idea of removing calendars. I did remove everything from "Shared calendars" from my desktop app. Luckily, I have my coworkers under a separate Team group, and did not remove them, so I can still see theirs.
Thank you for this! This is the closest reply that I provided something new. OK, so, I followed the instructions above and have found all the calendars on my phone app. QUESTION: I follow all these calendars on my desktop version (I am a manager). Before I delete them all from the app, will it also delete those calendars on my desktop?
Thanks!
In case someone is still having the issue, I just fixed mine this way (note that I use Outlook in deskop version and also in the mobile app. The issue was in the desktop version only, however I fixed it thru the app... I'm running it on an iPhone with iOS 18.3.1):
- Open the calendar in the app.
- Click on your profile picture at the top to display Calendar Options.
- It will display a list with several calendars, the active ones are selected with a blue checkmark. My app was displaying old coworkers' calendars besides mine.
- Click on the gear icon next to the unwanted calendars to open each calendar's options. Once there, there is a button to delete it. Continue deleting as many calendars you're not interested in.
- Close the app. Close your desktop Outlook window. Open again desktop window and check if your calendar view was updated to the right time slots according to your working hours... it may take a couple minutes to show it right.
In our organization, years ago we used to share other team members calendars' to show availability in detail (and for our boss to monitor our agendas, I guess), however I'm not part of that team since many years ago but never had an issue with my calendar view, until a couple weeks ago and it was annoying, until today that I realized how to solve it.
Hope it helps!

Thank you for the idea, removing other calendars and keeping only my current Calendar solved this issue for me.
The intent of setting the Work Hours and Location is so that when you start classic Outlook and go to the calendar that your working hours are in that view. The day should not be showing starting at 12AM. There is not a setting to pick the exact hour that starts the day in the view. The feature before WHL did have a better defined Start Time that better controlled what hour started the day in the view.
