You haven\u2019t updated it for a long time, and this causes the inbox view to change frequently.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Corrupted User Profile:<\/strong> Since your Outlook profile is locally saved on your computer, it may become corrupt. Ultimately, it will hamper your inbox view and your productivity as well.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conflicting Add-ins or Extensions:<\/strong> Another reason why Outlook view keeps changing is the interference of a problematic add-in or extension.
