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!

    This is what I did..

    In Outlook , click File at top left. Next click Options at bottom left.

    Once done, hit Task and untick the "open tasks in the To Do app" option. Click ok. This should fix it.

    I went here and was able to File-> Options -> Advanced -> then uncheck the box: Show Apps in Outlook. It reverted my Outlook to what it looked like before, thank goodness.
