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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    The toggle button was moved under Help:

    Once you get back into Classic, this page might help:

    Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook

    My Outlook HAD the button to go back to Classic Outlook. I clicked on it and it went back perfectly. When I came back to my desktop Windows 11 machine after

    lunch it was back to the new Outlook which I dislike very very very very much. I also

    don't appreciate it going back unasked.

    There is no current way to do that. Make sure you have Classic installed:

    You can't open classic Outlook on a new Windows PC - Microsoft Support

    then, simply DON'T USE the new one.

    Thanks. The problem actually went away when I used a different browser so it appears Edge was the problem. I will try your recommendation, though.
