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.

2024-05-12T01:39:37+00:00 I'm not sure if I need to clarify, but I am talking about in Windows, not in outlook. When I click Start, then settings, then account, my menu on the left under accounts reads:
Your info
Email & accounts
sign-in options
access work or school
windows backup
I am using a microsoft account, not local account. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but it is a generic microsoft account, not one from an organization.

2024-05-12T02:39:33+00:00 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.
This is the correct answer. FINALLY, don't have it auto launching after toggling this setting off. What a terrible design choice to not let people configure this behavior from the app itself. Hopefully they fix/patch it in the future.
