    I hope this back door opening helps people. I would always go to classic even when my new outlook email would open. the Start Run Outlook.exe works for me or classic and I just go to that. The Outlook icon pinned to the task bar does absolutely nothing after working fine for a long while. The entry to outlook via MS 365 does absolutely nothing as well. I gave up and use the Start Run process bc I want to use classic Outlook mail anyway. Sad that MS gives us crap for our money but it is what it is.

    Outlook won't open so it isn't in Task Manager to enable me to select it.
