OWA Simplistic View

Starting last week, every time I open Outlook on the web, it only gives me this super simplistic view that only shows me my emails and gives me no other option to view my calendar or anything else. This is the entire screen. How do I change this back?

 

Update: This appears to be related to my other issue that some sites aren't working in a normal Edge window. They work in InPrivate mode or in Chrome, but not in a regular Edge window. 

 

Problems accessing sites except in InPrivate mode - Microsoft Tech Community

 

 

  • I did some more google and MSN research this morning.

    1) Based on your image, what happens if you click on the top right + (plus) sign?
    2) Try press F11; toggles full and normal screen view
    3) Share this article with your IT team: Office 365 app launcher and menu bar icons are blank. This article mentions Untrusted Font Blocking Feature may prevent icons from showing.

    I am tapped out. Please let me know if any of these suggestions helped. I am really curious about the issue.

      Thanks. I will share that article. The big + sign at the top just opens a blank email window. I just tried F11 and that didn't do anything. Hopefully, our IT can help me out.

        Please keep me posted on the resolution. I am curious about this one.
        Have a good day.
  • AndiRobinson Happy Workday to you.

     

    I reviewed Alexandra's August response and would have provided the same recommendations. However, I did not see if you or your IT Administrator has the latest versions for Edge and Outlook. 

     

    Here is the image of the latest Edge version 93.0.961.38.  Ask your IT Dept to reinstall Edge on your computer.  I hope this helps.  Good luck.
