HOW TO PREVENT OUTLOOK 365 FROM AUTO SCROLLING TO CURRENT TIME

Question

On the new MS Outlook 365, the calendar auto scrolls to current time. This makes it extremely difficult to view appointments earlier in the day when it is afternoon. HELP!

Answer 1

Hi Chris,

I verified on my own device: the Calendar is working fine here, and it did not auto-scroll.

Press Windows + R, type %localappdata%\Microsoft, and press Enter.

Delete the Olk and OneAuth folders.

Restart Outlook.

This only removes temporary Outlook data that will be recreated automatically. Please try reconfiguring the account and let me know.

I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.

Answer 2

I recieved the instructions below from Sumit D-IA and it worked for a few hours. Now the new Outlook 365 calendar is auto scrolling to current time again! This is not acceptable and am looking for a permanent fix. HELP!!!

Answer 4

Currently, there is no specific setting in Outlook 365 to prevent the calendar from auto-scrolling to the current time. This behavior is designed to help users quickly access their current appointments. However, you can try the following workaround:

1. Change the Calendar View: Instead of using the default view, you can switch to a different view (like "Day" or "Week") and manually scroll to the desired time. This may help in managing your view better.
2. Use the "Today" Button: If you need to return to the current time quickly, you can use the "Today" button to jump back after reviewing earlier appointments.

If this issue significantly impacts your workflow, consider providing feedback to Microsoft through the Outlook app, as user feedback often drives feature updates and changes.
