Stop automatically installing the new Outlook

Anonymous

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?

Thank you for an easy and simple solution.

Although it seems new outlook is trying to install and has hung with a full progress bar any way to stop that?

You can probably kill installation in Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) or just uninstall it...

AppData file is usually a hidden file. Must change the attribute but this worked for me. Thanks!

To change attribute, at top of open folder click on three dots, then options, view tab, click dot to show hidden files.
