I'm not using "the new Outlook", I'm staying with the "classic Outlook". Since I don't use it, I have to delete the app. To my surprise, it re-installs itself after a period of time. It's super annoying since I have to keep deleting it How do I stop this from happening?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    If you're not interested in trying the new Outlook for Windows just yet and don't want to be a part of this one-time switch, in classic Outlook go to File> Options> General> New Outlook options and uncheck Automatically switch me to new Outlook.

    If you don't see this option, it means you're not currently eligible for an automatic switch to new Outlook for Windows at this time.

    Follow the steps in page 3 but with some updates:
    After uninstalling the F'ing outlook(new), go to windowsapp folder to destroy this new horsesh_t folder
    "Microsoft.OutlookForWindows_1.2025.117.600_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"

    Create another folder under this name and eliminate the access.

    Wait for a few months to do the same for another newly named f_ck.

    Did you uninstall outlook(new) first before messing up with those four files in the folder?
