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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Even this didnt work for me. All microsofts "New" products are rubbish and so glitchy.
I feel like Microsoft is primed for a huge fall.
They arent innovative anymore and all their establish programs are going backwards instead of forwards.
I would like to suggest to offer the current product manager of the New Outlook a New job and let someone else step in? After one year of trying I am back at the Old Outlook.
First I tried the New Outlook on my Mac. Horrible. So many features where lacking e,g. creating new folders in my archived inbox to organize them. Used to work before.
Now switched to Windows 11 and Office. I assumed the New Outlook would be better implemented but unfortunately. Automatic searching for IMAP/SMTP server does not always work well. But then not implement the option to change it manually is so weird? Why did you not put this on your roadmap? Syncing of my icloud calendar basically does not work.
So I went back to the old outlook. Love it. But then I wanted to remove the icon from the taskbar and ended up here. Again? Who decided to add the right-click button to all office but excluded this for the New Outlook?
I feel there is a huge push in so many ways to get us into the new Outlook BUT the experience is so so bad...
Thank you!! I wasted so much time trying to unpin New Outlook from my taskbar. Your method worked for me.
I echo all the frustrations expressed by others....
I am discovering more and more bugs with Microsoft applications, it feels like there is a new one every week. Another annoying bug with my new outlook is that double-clicking on an email to open it in a new window and reading it and then closing it does not mark the email as read while single-clicking it and reading it in the reading view does. The copy-and-paste experience to and from Teams is a total lottery with different behaviours for no discernible reason. I have been using Microsoft products since 1992 and have not had anywhere near this number of issues with any previous iterations. Please stop making worse new versions of existing products and introducing bugs to simple tasks like copy and paste which has worked without issue for over 30 years!
Totally agree!!
This is garbage.
