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)

    Hi Igor Berezin:

    Are you using Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook as your email client? If I go to Settings | Apps | Apps and Features I can see that 16005.14326.21740.0 is the current version number of the Mail and Calendar app that is built into my Win 10 OS, not the version number of Microsoft Outlook that comes with a paid subscription of a Microsoft Office suite (currently Version 2310 / Build 16924.20150) like Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office 2016 / 2019 / 2021 Click-to-Run.

    The HideNewOutlookToggle registry key edit Diane Poremsky suggested <here> on 12-Feb-2023 will only hide the "Try the New Outlook" toggle switch in Microsoft Outlook, not in Windows Mail.

    The July 2023 BleepingComputer article Microsoft force-migrating Windows Mail & Calendar apps to Outlook app in August states that the Mail and Calendar app is being retired in 2024 and will no longer be supported or available for download, so at some point in the coming months users who are still using the built-in Windows Mail app as their email client will be forced to switch to the “new” Outlook for Windows progressive web app (PWA).

    If users don’t like the “new” Outlook for Windows PWA when they are finally forced to abandon their Mail and Calendar app they might consider switching to a free third-party email client like Thunderbird or eM Client.

    Adding a registry entry of

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences\UseNewOutlook DWORD = 0

    got the classic Outlook back for me, and removed the Search bar at the top

    This works after the Try new Outlook switch disappeared, after an update to version 2311, which was released on Nov 29.

    Worked on 2 PCs.
