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?

This is an issue when we are using images in VMware for our desktops and this has to be done at a user level. Our business is suffering do to this very Invasive way of pushing new **** out the most business DON'T want or need. So how do we make this stop at a DOMAIN level?
Instead of deleting the json files in that folder
C:\Users<Youruser>\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Migration
I just edited all those files' values from whatever codes there are to "F_ck" (of course the real word, not a masked one). Then I edited those files to be "read-only". Now it has stopped auto installing.
Hope this helps.
Microsoft will soon be getting out the big stick. They'll spank us for bieng naughty and not doing what we're told :-(
Then there's the naughty step....
That's not true at all because when you click on the old mail icon it redirects you to the new outlook and you can not run the old stuff!!!!
Blatant lie!!!
I just stopped closing the program, I keep it up full time so it wont change. Obviously not a fix but I am reduced to this because of MS BS
This issue is REALLY ANOYING. Microsoft have not right to force users to use a particular app and to change settings on individual devices.
I don't want to use Outlook at all. I want to stay with Windows Mail because I have multiple email addresses on multiple domains . I can see them all in one window with Mail. It is infuriating that Microsoft keep unpinning Mail from my task bar and replacing it with New Outlook something i have to revers several time a day to work.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW.
