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 thought I had a fix by downloading Mail and Calendar and uninstalling Outlook but today the Uninstall button is greyed out. Also, you can no longer download Mail and Calendar from the Microsoft Store or the website. Your solution fixed my calendar instantly. I hope it lasts and thank you again!
