How to TURN OFF auto start of OUTLOOK (NEW) on computer?

When Outlook (new) updated it decided that upon turning on and signing in to my computer, that it would open. I cannot for the life of me find the setting to turn this off. APPS SHOULD NOT OPEN UNLESS I CLICK THE ICON.

Here's an idea : Instead of the user having to spend countless hours pissing around with this issue - how about MICROSOFT FIXES IT?

There is no "sign in options" under settings>account.

I'm not sure if I need to clarify, but I am talking about in Windows, not in outlook. When I click Start, then settings, then account, my menu on the left under accounts reads:

Your info

Email & accounts

sign-in options

access work or school

windows backup

I am using a microsoft account, not local account. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but it is a generic microsoft account, not one from an organization.
