I'm a windows 11 user. Few days ago, I saw another outlook app which shows in the start as Outlook(new). I uninstalled it because I have the outlook in my office package, but few days later, it was again installed. I scanned that folder but there is no malware detected. What is this? And why is it installing again after I uninstall it? Is it a malware? Or a legitimate software? Pls advise ASAP.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for posting on the forum today. I’m Bambi, a user like you and I’ll be happy to assist you.

I believe you are referring to the new Outlook. Please see link for reference https://support.microsoft.com/office/656bb8d9-5a60-49b2-a98b-ba7822bc7627

This is set to replace the mail app, it may explain why it downloads itself. You could try using it and see if you like it first before you decide against using it.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

Best Regards, Bambi

    Weird Microsoft installs the new Outlook application but still keeps in place the Mail and Calendar app? Can you confuse users anymore Microsoft?

    I got the app originally on a new laptop I uninstalled it and then when the OS updated to a new release version I got it installed again!

    It's not that big of a effort to uninstall again, but I really should not have to on a basic Windows 11 upgrade that apparently does not respect my current app configuration.

    You will need to create it. They are not going to make it that easy :)

    Please have a look at this article, it may help:

    Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)
