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.

Right clicking on the New Outlook icon, regardless of whether the application is running or not, does not offer any "unpin" or "options" option to select.
It looks like MS is forcing this onto the Task Bar.

HOWEVER, what did work was Start > right-click New Outlook icon > Unpin from Taskbar.
If I've learned anything from this thread, then I've learned that no one way will likely work for everybody, but that's what worked for me. Good luck.
