How to define and change working hours/days/week in Outlook?
Microsoft Outlook defaults to a typical work schedule from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which suits most users. However, if you work shifts or need to include weekends in your schedule, constantly adjusting the calendar view can be cumbersome. This guide will show you a simple method to permanently change your working hours and days in Outlook. Once set up, Outlook will automatically display your customized work schedule, eliminating the need to manually adjust the scrollbars each time.
