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.

    I have two hotmail email accounts one accessed by the 'app' and one via a web link (on my desktop). One is accessed via a link in my 'homepage' and the other via the Task Bar - I set these up so that I can log into either without having the change/enter my username and password. It seems that the one accessed via the task bar is causing it to automatically start even though I have it open.

    Is it possible to set up two separate 'links' via my home page which will result in a login to one or the other?

    I tried all the recommended solutions but nothing worked for me until I used "repair" - > apps & features -> search for Outlook -> click on Outlook -> click on Advanced options -> Look under RESET for "Repair". I hope it works for you too :-)

    Problem is this damned program doesn't show up in any lists so that I can disable the auto start. What have you done?

    That's exactly the problem I am having. Damned Microsoft. They have done something to keep their eye on me. That is one reason I won't go to Windows 11 Co-Pilot - Big Brother watching. Be careful.
