My email does not have the toggle option in the top right corner to get the classic outlook back. There is no longer the old outlook in the store either. I have also tried the steps in registry editor and that didn’t work out either.

    I have lost all of the information that I had in Outlook Classic. I cannot reach Outlook classic anymore to regain it. I cannot contact a human to find out how to temporarily pull that information into my Outlook (new).

    There must be a solution to this. Can anyone help please?

    Fortunately, I only had to click it once from Help. It opens in Classic every time now. I'm using Windows 10.

    I went into apps and uninstalled new outlook. I left classic outlook there. It worked.

    When I had them both installed, whenever I clicked on classic outlook to open, new outlook would open.

    If Microsoft slips new outlook back into my computer I'll remove it again.

    Did not work. I followed these instructions.

    1. From the Windows Start Menu, type “Registry Editor” in the search box and select the Registry Editor app.
    2. Navigate to the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
    3. Scroll to the bottom of the list to and double click on UseNewOutlook.
    4. Enter 0 in the Value Data field.
    5. Attempt to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu.

    In the meanwhile, here is an article, you can refer to Toggling out of the new Outlook for Windows preview - Microsoft Support.

    Did not work.
