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:

    Though your "solution" works, I do not recommend this "hack"; it is a System-folder, and there is a reason for it is hidden. Meddling with Ownership and Security Rights, can seriously damage your Windows Apps and Windows OS.

    This almost worked! I just had to make the folder read only (after deleting correlation.json) and no more outlook!

    excellent reason to jettison Microsoft altogether. NEW OUTLOOK is trash, should be classified as SPAM.
