Unpin New Outlook from Windows task bar

Thank you, this worked for me.

Neither of these suggestions worked for me, I did not get an 'Unpin from taskbar' option when right clicking the icon on the taskbar and I did not get an 'Options' option in the menu after opening New Outlook.

The way I had to make this virus go away from the taskbar was to click on Start > click on 'All apps' > locate 'Outlook (new)' > right click 'Outlook (new)' > click 'More' > click 'Unpin from Taskbar'.

I will never get the time back I spent blindly chasing around to find this, so thank you Microsoft.

I have also been forced to move back to the old outlook. The "New Outlook" is just the web platform made into the app.

I have given it a good few weeks but there is just so much functionality missing from the traditional outlook.

Hi. I am unable to unpin New Outlook from my task bar in Windows. Can you please advise? It seems that there is a new functionality with the right-click on the task bar icon for New Outlook. The popup window is different from all other applications. Thanks.

To remove this Outlook New virus (because that's what it is!) from the taskbar I looked for it in the Apps list and uninstalled it. Finally gone after wasting precious time. Thanks MS for messing up a perfectly good messaging system with a virtually unusable 'upgrade'. Let's just go back to DOS.

Agree. Ridiculous workaround to remove from taskbar.

You are a Hero, I'll never understand why Microsoft wants to reinvent the wheel and just forces us into stuff that no only dosn't work but it's annoying, using the new Outlook made my efficiency go down due to how bad it is, I couldn't even propertly open attached files due to the new version forcing me to download them or open them on an online version of Microsoft Office.
