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

    I think I've found a workaround to this problem. Disable Background Apps for BOTH Outlook (new) AND Mail and Calendar. You'll notice how you can switch between new Outlook and Mail/Calendar. My theory is that new Outlook still depends on Mail/Calendar and disabling Background Apps for both prevents Automatic startup of new Outlook.

    So far so good.

    This doesn't stop the issue. The 'NEW' look of Outlook is consistently showing up on my taskbar at startup. There is no way to turn it off following the above sets of instructions.
