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.

    When I open Outlook and right-click the New Outlook icon in the taskbar, there is no "Options" selection in the menu.

    Unbelievable how poor of a decision EVERYTHING about the new outlook is.

    Seriously, how this cancer of a software was released in this form is beyond me.

    Shift+Right-Click and it provides a "secret" option to unpin.

    Microsoft really needs to think about removal of or hidden functionality they seem to be focused on, Perhaps for the masses to make it more user friendly but its at the cost of annoying the hell out of the typical users.

    Off-topic - there's also a registry adjustment to get rid of the extra "Show extra options" when you right click a file in windows 11:

    Run the PowerShell app (search powershell) and copy paste the string below and press enter, should get a successful message. Need to restart to take effect.

    reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
