Unpin New Outlook from Windows task bar

The more I and the rest of my office uses the new Outlook the less we want to.

I've switched back to traditional/former Outlook application, but getting the icon removed from the taskbar took the unusual action of searching for it and using that method outlined above. Why can't it work like all other Microsoft apps on the taskbar and allow you to remove with a simple right-click of the icon ON the taskbar. Why is Microsoft making things HARDER and not the same or easier? Really disappointed.

Dear Matthew W. Pendleton,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

Based on your description, I understand that you have a concern with "Unpin New Outlook from Windows task bar"; To unpin New Outlook from your task bar in Windows, are you trying right-click on the icon and select "Unpin from taskbar" from the menu? If this option is not available, you can try opening New Outlook > Right-click on the taskbar icon for New Outlook > Select "Options" from the menu > In the "Taskbar" tab, click on the "Unpin this program from taskbar" button > Click "OK" to confirm, and check if the new outlook gets unpinned from Windows taskbar.

Moreover, from Menu bar, you may search for outlook and right click on the outlook(New) then click on the "Unpin from taskbar."

This should remove the New Outlook icon from your task bar. Let me know so we may explore more options!
