Application_Startup not doing its thing

Outlook version
Outlook 2021 64 bit
Email Account
IMAP
Operating system::    Windows 10
Outlook version:     Pro Plus 2021
Email type or host:    IMAP
I have the following in the ThisOutlookSession module:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Application.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMaximized
Application.ActiveExplorer.ShowPane olFolderList, True
Application.ActiveExplorer.ShowPane olOutlookBar, False
Application.ActiveExplorer.ShowPane olPreview, False
Application.ActiveExplorer.ShowPane olNavigationPane, True
End Sub

It's starting up maximized but I'm not sure that's due to this script. It's not turning on the folder list, which is the main thing I'm wanting it to do.

Macro security is fine - I run tons of VBA scripts in Outlook.

What could be causing this to just not run?

Application_Startup may be running before the Explorer Window is fully initialized. To test, try running the sub steps manually after Outlook has had a chance to finish all of it's initial setup.

Running the sub manually after Excel loads works fine. How do I get application_startup to wait for the window to be initialized, then run?

I can't reproduce any race condition. On my PC your original code executes OK and I get a Maximized Explorer Window with a Folder List Nav Pane visible. Not sure why we are getting different results.

Just to be sure that your Application_Startup Sub is running, put a VBA Stop as the first line of your sub. This should break out into the Debugger.
Stop statement (VBA)
