How to get rid of a new tab on Outlook upper tool bar stating: Try the new Outlook. It recently popped up & replaced my "delete" tab, which is now inside the scroll down menu.

Edited to add: Note that the registry key applies only to classic Outlook desktop software (2016, 2019, 2021, Outlook in Microsoft Office 365 software). It does not work for Windows Mail.

Hello Dennis

You're talking about the button in my screenshot? It's not a toolbar but you can hide it using a registry key -

Image

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General
DWORD: HideNewOutlookToggle
Value: 1

Start typing regedit on the start menu and when the Registry Editor comes up, open it.

Browse to the path, right click on the right side and choose New > DWORD. Paste HideNewOutlookToggle, press enter then right click on it and choose modified and choose modify. change 0 to 1. \

Restart Outlook.

Edited to add: I have a ready-to-use registry key in my article at Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)

    It's absolutely insane that a PAYING subscriber to Microsoft apps has to change a registry value to get rid of worthless **** that MS forces on PAYING users! There should be a simple setting under "general settings" that should allow a user to try the "new" Outlook if they wish. Microsoft can't possibly care about productivity when they roll out bloatware / "new" useless bells and whistles and a PAYING user has to waste time resetting their screens to what they had and preferred.

    Get a clue MS: Work on making Outlook more secure, stable and leaner. Quit trying to impress with worthless "features" that waste time.

    Download and run it to add the keys to the registry.

    You can open it in notepad to see what it contains.

    with the key set it looks like this

    This does not work for me.

    I only wish to use the windows mail app not the new outlook app. How do i stop it showing in the mail app. fed up that i have to full screen it to get the delete button now. If i want the OWA interface i would log into the full OWA.

    I tried this: Note that u may have to create New->Key “General” under HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \Office \ 16.0 \ Outlook \ Options\

    I did not find this part anywhere \16.0 \ outlook \ option\

    So guess i am screwed and stuck with that stupid notification.
