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)

    That disabling it on the mailbox setting in your recommended post. I had a go at that. It does not get rid of the toggle, but if someone tries to toggle onto the new outlook they get an error saying that it has been blocked by an administrator (or similar words).

    They then can't toggle back.

    They close outlook and open it again. Still stuck.

    They must restart outlook three times to get back to classic outook.

    That's going to cause more support calls that it fixes.

    See my later post for a better solution :-)

    Close the thread and award me Star Baker, I've got this fixed.

    Go to this portal (with appropriate credentials)..

    Home - Microsoft 365 Apps admin center (office.com)

    Create a new policy. There are over 2000 policy definitions to choose from. Search for one using the word "toggle".

    There is your policy, Create it and wait seemingly forever (possibly as much as 24 hours).

    Whilst waiting give this a read.

    Overview of Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365 - Deploy Office | Microsoft Learn

    Boom.
