Outlook - Reading Pane under View is grayed out, how do I fix it?

[Peter Todhunter]

I normally have my Outlook displaying the Reading Pane, today when I come to
my PC I find that the Reading Pane is not enabled. When I go to enable it, I
find Reading Pane in gray and not accessible. How do I find where to enable
the Reading Pane so that I can turn it on again. I am the Administrator, I am
the only user of this PC.
Also, when I came to my PC today, it told me that a Microsoft Update had
occurred and I had to reboot, which I did.

focused on identifying this issue.
