Classic Outlook reminder dialog issue

STATUS: FIXED

A fix has been implemented for the Reminder dialog not drawing properly if the Location field of the appointment is a long URL or text. The fix will be available in the following builds:

Beta Channel:  Version 2410 (Build 18104.15010) Current Channel Preview:  Version 2410 (Build 18129.20000) – ETA mid October 2024 Current Channel:  Version 2410 (Build 18129.20000) – ETA late October 2024 Monthly Enterprise Channel:  Version 2410 (Build 18129.20000+) – ETA December 10, 2024

The original issue where a long Subject will cause the issue is fixed in the following builds: 

Beta Channel:  Version 2408 (Build 17916.15000) Current Channel Preview:  Version 2408 (Build 17928.20018) Current Channel:  Version 2408 (Build 17928.20114) Monthly Enterprise Channel:  Version 2408 (Build 17928.20114+) ETA 10/8/24

You may be able to temporarily work around the issue doing the following: 

  • Shorten the Location field, if appropriate.

  • Open Task Manger, right click the Microsoft Outlook process and select End Task. Simply closing Outlook and restarting does not always mitigate the issue.

  • Setting the Windows Display Scale to 100% in the Windows display properties.

The issue is most likely to occur after you have minimized and restored the reminders dialog.
