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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity

This option is available for me; however, I am not going to turn this off. By turning this off, my other apps or when I use another device, most likely my sign-in information would be required to finish that process.
Hey John,
Just FYI, I really recommend "Thunderbird" for my email client. Free opensource client that supports multiple email addresses. Great User Interface and they even have a android version. Its great to have all my email in one place!
I have the same problem and I like Thunderbird. One client and you can have as many different email accounts as you want in one location. They just launched the mobile app as well I believe.
I haven't had the issue with outlook since I uninstalled the Windows Mail program that came on the computer. Microsoft needs to get their program under control

I'm trying to solve the same problem and found a setting that affects Outlook (new) email auto-start. Outlook (new) can start, even every hour automatically again and again.
