Introduction
Outlook is a popular email and calendar application that is used by millions of people around the world. One of the key features of Outlook is its calendar function, which allows you to schedule appointments, meetings, and events. By default, Outlook opens to the month view when you access the calendar function. However, if you prefer the day view, you can change the default setting to ensure that Outlook always opens to the day view in 2024.

The first step is to open Outlook and access the calendar function. You can do this by clicking on the calendar icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+2” to access the calendar function.
