After changing to the New Outlook, my office apps still try to use old outlook application when I try to share a document (File - Share - Email). It opens old outlook but wont send. It just sets in Outbox. I assume some clean up is necessary to remove remanence of old Outlook?

    I try to send any type of document word, excel, pdf and it opens my old outlook......so frustrating!

    if you figure out the enterprise update please let me know!

    Yes, I am also having the exact same issue and have tried all the solutions. Microsoft does not have a way to uninstall old Outlook. I can't just delete the shortcut, as the program will still function in the background, won't it? Where are our Microsoft advisors? We have three pages now of the same question and unresolved problem.

    change is not an option; only advanced and uninstall. I am using Windows 11 and just installed the new outlook. No icon for old outlook and no continue button on Microsoft 365 office.

    I was hopeful that uninstalling Office I would have the option to determine what to install on a new install. Unlike everytime I have installed MS Office in the past, this time it did not allow me to pick what parts of Office to install, so it reinstalled Outlook (which I wanted to get rid of) and OneNote which I don't use. Why does MS include the old Outlook when they want everyone to move to the new Outlook? If it wasn't for MS Publisher I would dump MS Office.

    Outlook does not show up in Programs and Features, even if it is installed, as the rest of MS Office apps are
