Hi, the issue is simple:
after the update to New Outlook, it runs at boot time and I don't know how to disable this. Can't find any setting in the app or an entry in the Task Manager Boot tab.
Thanks,
Luca
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I have tried all 3 of the above suggestions, none of them work. How do I remove this garbage?
Thank you so much! This was driving me crazy. Even my husband who builds computers was stumped. I was almost to the point of wiping it and starting over just to make it stop.
You saved me!!
Great job! It worked for me. However, when you say "go to setting" I was 'attacking' the Outlook and could not find this there. You have to mention Windows Settings
If you're like me the post from the Microsoft expert did nothing to help, The new Outlook doesn't show up in any of the start up locations/folders or msconfig. It's like spyware that won't go away, which is clearly intentional since you have to dig thru "ten thousand" settings just to turn it off. Basically you have to kill the background process to get it to stop launching on start up.
You need to go to setting then apps and features
click on Outlook then advanced options
Then turn off Background Apps
That will stop it from launching everytime windows starts. at least on WIndows 10.
This started for me when I installed the Sysinternals Suite now owned by Microsoft.
I went through each item and disabled background activity (along with new mail, mail and calendar). All good so far (he says with fingers firmly crossed)
THANK YOU!!!! This has been driving me absolutely crazy!
