Using New Outlook on Windows for academic communication and scheduling
At the end of Feb. 2024 and Microsoft still hasn't bothered to fix this. Thank you for figuring out how to remove it from my task bar.
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.
