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

    You can block the automatic installation of the new outlook using this script on github:

    or you can improve the experience in the new outlook by removing all the ads from it:

    I Believe that if microSOFT doesn't want to loose a few billion they will fix this or I shall direct my business clients to go to Linux or Mac and exclude all of their future computers coming with ms anything. to include Apache Open Office...

    Seriously, this is the best sollution. It looks exactly like Windows Mail, and you won't have to go through ANY trouble. Just install it and be done with it.

    Thanks for this, I don't seem to have C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, I have C:\Program Files\Modifiable\WindowsApps, but that folder is empty.

    Tried to add a folder, but I tried it and all I got was Access Denied you don't have permissions to modify.

    And Outlook is still trying to install it's in the back ground, if I had any hair to start with I would have pulled it all out by now ;(
