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?

    This clearly does not work. Has any body figured this out, or do we need to keep two versions of Outlook on our computers?

    Windows 11, with Microsoft 365. Options are not the same. It asks to "REPAIR" which does who knows what.

    The need to delete the old version is because iCloud will only sync with the old one.... Hoping to default to the new one.

    This is one of the biggest pc headaches I've ever dealt with, and I had AIR JORDAN for Windows 3 that had 14 3.5" disks.

    This does not work, no matter how often I try.

    Please help us in isolating the issue by providing the following information:

    1. What windows version are running?
    2. Have you tried the steps below to remove the old Outlook application:
      • Close all Office applications, including Outlook.
      • Open the Control Panel and select "Programs and Features" or "Add or Remove Programs" depending on your version of Windows.
      • Find Microsoft Office in the list of installed programs and select "Change".
      • In the Office installer window, select "Add or Remove Features" and click "Continue".
      • Expand the "Outlook" section and uncheck the box next to the old version of Outlook.
      • Click "Continue" and follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.

    I'm also having the same issue but those steps do not work: in my case, I have the "Microsoft 365 Apps For Enterprise" suite, and when I click on the "Change" button within Windows' Control Panel, I'm given only two options, "Quick Repair" and "Online Repair".

    Just as the rest of replies in the thread, all I want is to uninstall the "old" Outlook software, since I already switched to the version shown as "Outlook (New)" and I want to get some free disk space back.
