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?

    You can't go to Settings - then click Apps and scroll down to " Outlook new" -click on it - click uninstall - then a pop-up reads "this will uninstall all outlook .." then click uninstall again.

    When it's uninstalled, my previous Email program comes back.

    Microsoft seems to have fixed my problem with Outlook. My smtp server is working. It would be nice if they had let me know. I guess they have better things to do than monitor their sites.

    Uninstall ''Outlook'' from the APPS and Features Menu in the settings. You'll get prompted that they will download it but you just close that window, and should be fine. It shouldn't switch you over. Also when you get a windows update look to see if the update re-installed Outlook and do it again!.

    YAYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!!!
