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?

    Would just like to add, as a business customer, that I find this practice of pseudo-mandating new software by making it unremovable to be deeply off-putting. If you weren't the only option for our enterprise I would take my business elsewhere immediately. This company is a shell of what it used to be

    My problem is I use NHS mail for work. Access has been fine for years in the mail app, but I'm locked out of that now, and the new Outlook app tells me my organization does not have a licence for outlook for windows.

    So congratulations Microsoft, that's the 7th biggest employer in the world, an organization with 1.38 million employees, locked out of your software and looking for an alternative. Although given the kind of scam ads microsoft is feeding us, I'm sure there are very few security conscious business users who'll want anything to do with outlook going forward.

    You can probably kill installation in Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) or just uninstall it...
