How to revert task list in outlook to the old version?

I prefer the look and productivity of the old version of tasks with red flags and easy overview. The new one is not as clear and intuitive. How do I revert it back to that. Hint, I didn't opt in for the new outlook look, so the button on the top right corner already says off for the new version, but my to do list decided to switch anyway - very annoying. Please help me figure it out.

Many thanks!

    In MS Outlook, click on File > Options. Once the Outlook Options screen comes up, click Tasks on the left hand side, under Task Options, I had to uncheck "Open tasks in the To Do app". After unchecking it, click "Ok" to close out the Outlook Options screen. Once I did the other I mentiond, now my task have gone back to opening up in the old Task View instead of opening up in the "To Do" App.

    That worked for me also...

    However on the "Apps" bar on the left you will need to unpin the To-Do app and pin the old task app back if you want it to appear there. Click on "More Apps" and then right click on "Tasks" and Pin it to the bar.
