My outlook is stuck on the new version. How to go back to classic version?

Anonymous

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.

That is Outlook New, not classic. All of the suggestions for registry editing, etc depend on Outlook Classic Desktop being installed and functional prior to the installation of Outlook New. Installing Outlook New has no effect on Classic Desktop, both will run at the same time. The registry stuff is to keep Outlook New from taking over and preventing Classic from launching. If Classic is not already installed, they do nothing.

What version of Outlook are you running (File > Office Account > About Outlook)?

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0*Outlook\Preferences*

the bold & italicized is not available in most current version.
