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?

    Currently, I have run OutlookRemover, have set up the blank folder in WindowsApps, and have NOK running, and it sort of works to stop New Outlook - opening Mail triggers the new Outlook installation (but to where I don't know), unpins Mail from the taskbar/start and pins itself there (once installed), but gets uninstalled a few seconds after finishing installation. So it does get removed, but causes an annoyance every time of having to either re-pin Mail to the taskbar/Start or cancel the installation manually before it can finish.

    This is not work just because they added new version of outlook. and you should create new folder with new version of that outlook all the time, again and again, just use wino mail and forget about win mail. This is the way

    Go and find some other email client you want to use.

    Continue using the soon to be discontinued Windows Mail is dangerous. It will "work" until it goes spectacularly wrong, then you will come back crying about how important your email is.

    I have had Windows Live mail for 30 years. Today it will not send or - Microsoft Community

    Windows Live Mail 2012 stopped workng after Update KB52034685, ERROR - Microsoft Community

    What's unfair is that we then have to listen to these people begging for help. We have better things to do, there are people with actual problems we want to help.

    Found this on the Manage background activity for apps in Windows

    (Maybe it will work, have to test it for a longer period.

    This info is chrystal clear written in WIN 11 Pro by developers of MS).

    Applies To

    Some apps let you manage background activity, which controls what they can do when they're in the background and not actively in use.

    Apps that can run in the background can send and receive notifications, sync and update information

    stay up to date. If you notice that an app is using a lot of battery when running in the background, you can change the setting for apps that allow it.

    Select the Home button, then select Settings > System > Power & battery > Battery usage.

    For an app that allows you to manage background activity,

    select More options > Manage background activity.

    On the settings page for that app, change the Allow this app to run in the background setting.

    Here's an overview of each option:

    Always: The app is always allowed to run in the background, receive information, send notifications and stay up to date,

    even if you are not actively using it. However, it may use more energy as a result.

    Optimized for energy consumption (recommended): Windows determines what is best to save the most energy, while still allowing the app to receive notifications and update periodically.

    This option can limit an app that uses more power.

    Never: When you're not actively using the app, it won't run in the background.

    You won't receive notifications or updates for the app, but this will save you the most energy.

    It seems that the New Outlook is being shoved down the throat of every user at all costs.

    As a user, you apparently no longer even have control over your own computer, because MS determines what is good for you.

    This is once again clearly proven by the possibility in the Reg-

    editor to block Outlook updates suddenly been disabled by MS crew, changing the Reg-editor, specific this part.

    I hereby warn MS that, if necessary, I will make it my life's work to have this sick compulsion eliminated by more powerful authorities than the folks of MS.

    I think Brussels is already rubbing his hands warm with the idea of another demolitionhammer mega-process to fill the EU treasury with even more money taken out of the pockets of arrogant administrators and shareholders of MS.

    Another recordfine for a arrogant tech-giant?

    MS DOES NOT DICTATE THIS WORLD AND CERTAINLY NOT WHAT WILL or SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED ON MY PC.

    PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD.... LOOKOUT FOR OUTLOOK!

    MS: DON'T YOU DARE TO CONTINUE THIS WAY
