Using New Outlook on Windows for academic communication and scheduling
Agree. Ridiculous workaround to remove from taskbar.
Unpin New Outlook from Windows task bar

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.

Hold shift then right click and the option should be in the menu for you.
FWIW, I too switched back to Classic Outlook after a good few weeks of trying real hard to hang w/ "New". Having to figure out random stuff like this on my own is a good example of why.

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.
