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)

    all i see is that no matter what or how you get rid of that annoying notification MICROSOFT WILL STILL UPGRADE TO THE SO CALLED BETTER FOR YOU LOOOK AND FEEL. AS I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST MICROSOFT IS A DICTATORSHIP FORCING ALL OF US TO CONFORM.. SO WHY DO WE EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO SOMETHING THAT WILL ONLY BE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION !

    Is it possible to block the upgrade to the new OWA replacement to outlook desktop?

    It appears to now be a forced change on a lot of our clients and its causing a lot of calls due to so many broken features.

    Toggling the options isn't helpful as they are not toggling the button its just being updated for them.

    I don't know who MS tested this on first but I suspect we are once again the testers..

    Best Regards

    Dave Webster

    You need to create the keys if they do not exist. But since you don't have the Office\16.0 key - are you using Outlook that comes with Office? This will not work if you have the switch in Windows Mail.

    If you are using Outlook desktop, have a ready-to-use key here -

    I did exactly as you said, but the note is still there. I give up. It's very frustrating. Microsoft should send out a fix!
