My idea is when Outlook updates, stop resetting every (or most) defaults. It is a waste of time having to reset everything
Very simple - stop updates from resetting defaults all (or most) of the time. Every time, I have to go through all of my business computers to reset them the way I do business rather than the way that Microsoft wants me to do business.

After each Office 365 update some (or all?) Outlook settings are reset.
This happend every month after the update. This is very annoying.
Settings that I am using and which are always reset, for example:
- Delete meeting requests => False (default is true)
- Mark Items read when selection changes

Please do something about this !
It should not be a huge job for developpers like you!
When I see the comments, it is 3 year now that it was requested, maybe long enough for you to do something ! -

Everytime an update comes from our IT department I have to change my settings back, taking time away from my work and money from my company. STOP IT

Wouldn't it be great if there was a feature to keep the same color scheme between updates? Then users wouldn't be forced to re-set the same thing over and over after every update!

While the reseting theme isn't a major problem, it's definitely an annoyance each time office updates.

More than a year later and nothing fixed or changed. When will Microsoft focus on software quality instead of new features with even MORE bugs.

Given that nothing has been done on this bug for around for a year and half and the frequent updates making it very painful, I have no option but to disable Office automatic updates.

This is a very annoying bug. Every now and then my Outlook client's black background is reset to the white background. Every time after an update, I have to go and open settings and reset my client background and this is extremely annoying.

Every time Office updates it breaks my signature and calendar permissions. Please stop this!

still happening regularly and the user experience is degraded and the confidence in other aspects of the update process are dropping fast.

Whenever outlook or excel prompts me to update, after updating my settings are reverted. For example, for my Microsoft programs, I use the black theme but whenever an update happens, it gets reverted to the default theme.
