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

    There was no toggle button. There is no "use new Outlook" line in the registry. I eventually, out of nowhere, got my traditional Outlook back with all the features and functions I'm accustomed to after re-booting my laptop. The "new" Outlook software is still on the machine, but after re-booting, "old" Outlook would finally open again. BUT I didn't change anything!!!

    glad you got it back. Microsoft seems bound and determined to force an inferior web-based product that skims our data, passwords, etc., so sooner or later we probably will need to look elsewhere for our e-mail client. I haven't tried it yet, but Mozilla's Thunderbird is on my short list. Looks a lot like the current classic desktop Outlook client.

    This reply was a waste of our time.

    Microsoft I do not want this app to auto install in my enterprise environment how do I stop you from doing so?

    I have Microsoft 365, with "full" Outlook on my private machine, for the rare case I need to check my work mailbox and the "Outlook (New)" is **** compared to it. For private mail I use Mozilla's Thunderbird, which is also much better than the "Outlook (New)". I also used the Mail app and it was also better than "Outlook (New)", but now it's basically being blocked.
    For whatever reason "Outlook (New)" gets force-installed and sometimes even auto-run on my machine, which pisses me off. It pisses me off even more, as it also forces itself on my kids, who don't necessary know how to deal with it.

    I don't need that app. I don't want that app. I don't want to try it (I already did). I don't want to see it. I don't want it listed among my apps. I don't want it auto-installing on my children's Windows accounts.
    How do I stop it from coming back?

    Preferably in a way, which will work on Windows 10/11 Home/Pro.
