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

    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!

    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.

    Hallo Mohammed Abu1

    I appreciate you are trying to help others here, so I am going to try to assist you in the process.

    Like other Microsoft users the fact that new Outlook kept opening on start up was irritating and annoying. As per your answer I looked at all the obvious and found exactly the same as the other responders, there is no facility to stop it starting built in as such, and you cannot turn it off from task manager. When the app was first rolled up, when you opened the soon to be discontinued mail and calendar app it gave you the option to use either app, however if you had already started using new Outlook the taskbar icon for mail would automatically toggle to and open the new version, so the two were effectively interlinked. I sat here trying to figure out how I could resolve this without interfering with the system, so I reasoned that if I uninstalled mail and calendar and then cleaned up the traces of redundant files with AVG Tune Up, it might do the trick. I have now shut down and restarted the PC three times and guess what - no new Outlook on start up!

    I am not suggesting this will work for everyone, but so far it certainly seems to have fixed this fault without losing any of the data in my files.

    I trust that may help.

    Regards,

    AJ
