Black Dots Appearing

in my outlook focused column, random black dots/specks will appear.

if i resize the column or open the older tab/group, the dots go away

to only only reappear later.

i have used google to find the cause but no luck.

any idea whats going on?

See the attached photo !

 

  • This reminds of clients who call in with immersive reader on, it changes a lot of the views to have odd symbols sometimes. You can check by going to "View" on the navigation tab and at the far right side click the immersive view. If that doesn't work, maybe try resetting the navpane, it's an old school switch that sometimes put things back in order. Go to search and type "outlook.exe /resetnavpane

      Hi,

      Thanks for the reply.

      Immervise was already off so i ran the reset navpane.
