What happened to Start?

Up until today, when I opened Excel, in the left hand column I would have a list of my pinned and recent files and the different template options for opening a new sheet in the right hand column. Now, I have this ugliness.

All my pinned files used to fit nicely in the left hand column (and even a few of my recent files), but now I have to actually search to locate my files in the right hand column (why is everything so HUGE? Did I toggle some visual-impaired accessibility option?).

Also, when I right-click on Excel from my taskbar, it no longer shows all my pins. Only the single most recently opened pin and one other "recently opened" file.

I've made sure that:

"Quickly access this number of Recent Workbooks" is checked and set to 10.
"Show this number of Recent Workbooks" is set to 50.
"Show this number of unpinned Recent Folders" is set to 50.

My computer isn't showing any recent updates, and I can't imagine what option I might have accidentally messed with.

Help?


Edit:

Found this picture online showing what it used to look like:

My Office 365 is up-to-date and i still have the 'old' view. How are you launching Excel?

I think you must have signed out of your account, so it doesn't now your recent file list. ?

Looking top right of the screenshot, I believe Marvin to be right - there is no indication that you are signed into an account.
