Unpin New Outlook from Windows task bar

thank you, thank you, thank you!!

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.

Totally agree!!

This is garbage.

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!

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....
