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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For business

    I have the same issue, except the outlook program does not show up in the startup tab in either the task manager or any other start up menu. Ive looked in the startup option in Outlook as well and there isnt an option to turn it off or on. Very frustrating to say the least.

    Unfortunately New Outlook/Mail does not appear in the location you describe.

    The other method to change this is Start | Settings | Apps | Startup which shows the same information and also does not show New Outlook/Mail.

    In New Outlook/Mail the Settings | General | Start-up is also missing an option to prevent this behaviour.

    The program appears to be missing this key feature.

    New Teams is also missing from the operating system start-up list described above but in Teams has it's own setting under Settings | General | Application | Auto-start application. This is missing from New Outlook/Mail.

    Applies to Outlook Version 1.2024.501.300
