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?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

So there isn't an Old version. it is just the system holding onto your old account as an old account. Think of it like legacy mode. Outlook has a mode of old version not actually a stand alone program.
Hi all,
I found a solution to it, specially for mailto links.
Go to Control Panel, Defaul Apps, Mail. Click on .em and change it to Outlook (new) and click on set as default. Do the same for MAILTO.
It works for me.

This does not work for me, I'm using win11 and 365 but at the app and features i don't find te old outlook. Maybe if I get the outlook setup.
hello thank you for the the very detailed way to do this my only question is i can't find Microsoft office what should I do?
microsoft pushed me to back up and in doing so created some error with the old outlook and now it won't find user profiles - even if I go into registry and show it the correct path. So I gave in and installed the new outlook that comes with ads. But of course, all the linking between programs still goes to classic which doesn't work. What a mess.
