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.

    Hi I have the same issue as Kasey, except when I get to the last folder called "Outlook" there is no "preferences" as per my screenshot below.

    I was able to complete steps 1 - 3. I am unable to complete step 4, as there is no UseNewOutlook, to select. I urgently need to revert back to the classic version of outlook. I am quite frustrated that I was unable to open Classic Outlook and that I was forced into this horrid new version of Outlook, which feels like a cheap version of Gmail. I am missing critical folders with data I need to be able to retrieve. I have 2 Outlooks, neither have "classic" or "new" as a tag.
