Mail continues to switch me to Outlook - how do I disable?

About every 2- 3weeks, the Mail app continues to automatically switch me to Outlook, without asking me. And I have to manually switch back to Mail.

I run an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 11.

I'm aware that Mail will eventually be discontinued, however, that's not for another year. I plan to use Mail for the next year, since Outlook currently is very difficult for me to use. However, Mail continually tries to suggest I switch, and then forces me to switch. This has happened over and over again for the last few months.

What can I do to disable Mail from switching me to Outlook?

    I am a legally blind man that manages 5 mail accounts and my PC came with the mail app. It seems to me that programs that were on the PC when I purchased it should not be forceably taken and exchanged for something I'm not as familiar with. Just saying. If I find a way to halt this forced exchange, I'm going to do it.

    Hello, does resetting Mail mean I will lose all of the events I've saved?

    Uninstall Outlook, add/remove programs. Make sure you are not uninstalling Mail app. Works good for me and yes it was very frustrating having it open every time I opened my email.

    I ended up removing Outlook and trying to go back to mail but, it wouldn’t work. I am now using Thunderbird on my desktop and Apple’s Mail on my iPads and iPhone.

    I may end up with Apple for everything and say goodbye to Microsoft but, they won’t care. Bill Gates has enough money.
