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 New Outlook running ok. However, when I boot my computer, Outlook 2016 starts also. When I look in Task Manager > Startup, Outlook (2016) is NOT running, so I cannot disable it. If I remove the outlook.pst that it tries to use, Outlook 2016 complains it can't find the file. I cannot find any startup list that says to start Outlook. What causes Outlook 2016 to start?

    I answered my own question about why Outlook 2016 starts at boot when it is not in any startup list. I still do not know why it happens, but I was able to stop it from starting automatically. In Windows 10, by going to Settings >> APPS and looking for Office in the App list, I found two entries for MS Office, one for (Office) New Outlook and one for Office 2016. By UNINSTALLING the offending 2016 entry, it no longer starts at boot. I credit information from tenforums in this topic for the APPS information.

    I had the same problem but it wasn't just on start up. If I stepped away from the computer for a bit, I would return to 3 or 4 open tabs of Outlook. None of the solutions suggested here worked. I didn't try the registry solution (way above my limited skill set) but I tried all the others without success. I did however notice something in Settings/Apps. My problems began when I was obligated to switch to New Outlook and I saw two Outlook icons in Apps. I uninstalled the old one, restarted my computer and that solved my problem. That was 3 days ago and Outlook hasn't popped up once since then...I hope this helps.
