Stop automatically installing the new Outlook

Indeed, Wino mail is an excellent alternative to Windows Mail, but for those that also use the Windows Calendar, it is not the entire solution. The app "One calendar", also found in Windows store, is a good alternative to the Windows Calendar.

For those using Microsoft To-Do, know that MS To-Do will at some point eventually be replaced by "Microsoft Planner", another of Microsofts "forced upon us"-apps, so consider "One task", a to-do app by same developer as "One calendar".

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.

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

There are alternatives to Windows, but it is bound to be a huge task moving to another system.
But I agree that Microsofts new "force"-policy, is off-putting, and my guess is that it eventually will come back and bite them.
