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.

    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.

    Perfect, thank you! Outlook has been stuck on my taskbar and very annoying. This was the trick!

    Legend, this worked for me.

    You time figuring this out was not sacrificed in vain.

    Hopefully the dev team don't catch wind of this and find a way to remove this option, too.

    Shift + right click. This opens additional menu items. and was performed on Windows 10 Enterprise.

    This option only happens once when it initially installs, but if you decide to add it back to the taskbar, you can right-click and the option to remove from taskbar will be available.
