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

    It really isnt there, youve had it install like some other apps and siabled an option to choose autostart or not, and then tell us to trust in microsoft.

    Spending my spare time learning linux, just cant deal with windows anymore!

    I'm having the same issue, New Outlook not showing up in the system startup menu but launches every time I login to Windows. Haven't found a solution anywhere.

    Hello

    Let us see if the following works. Before you begin:

    1. Make a restore point.
    2. Take Backup of the registry.

    Here you go:

    1.Open Windows Terminal, and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

    1. Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter to see a list of all startup apps for your account and their registry location.

    wmic startup get caption,user,location

    1. Make note of the registry Location (ex: "HKU\S-1-5-21-2212846312-626644311-134141314-1001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run") for the startup app Caption you want to remove from running at startup for your account.
    2. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
    3. Copy and paste the registry Location (ex: "HKU\S-1-5-21-2212846312-626644311-134141314-1001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run") from step 3 for the startup app Caption you want to remove into the address bar of Registry Editor, and press Enter to open that location.
    4. In the right pane, right click on the startup app Name you want to remove, and click/tap on Delete.
    5. Click/tap on Yes to approve deleting.

    Please go to settings -> account -> sign-in options

    Scroll to the bottom for "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart"

    Turn that option off.

    Basically, it doesn't fully close out, so it always comes back at launch. This means that even if you close it on startup, it has already launched and, due to the not closing issue, will never fully close. Lather, rinse, repeat...there it is, next startup.

    turn that setting off and it goes away.
