Hello! Could you please help me with uninstalling the new Outlook from my computer (Windows 11) as I would still like to use the outdated Windows Mail app? What I tried: Uninstalled the new Outlook from settings (Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps) Blocked new Outlook preinstallation via: Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -AllUsers -Online -PackageName (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName Blocked new Outlook installation as part of Mail and Calendar deprecation via: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where {$_.DisplayName -match "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName {$_.PackageName} Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package (Get-AppxPackage microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps).PackageFullName All shell commands were run as Administrator and I also deleted OutlookUpdate folder in Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator\UScheduler_Oobe\OutlookUpdate I would appreciate any advice regarding my question :)

This is so annoying, i do the same, uninstall and when open mail outlook is back

No, it does not work. Outlook (new) auto-installs itself.

Hello! Many thanks for your support! I tried the methods you suggested, but I still can not uninstall Outlook (new), as it auto-installs after I use the Mail app a couple of times. Regarding the methods you suggested: I tried method one and then method 3, but after opening the Windows mail app a couple of times, it auto-installs Outlook (new) again and redirects me there. I also opened the link in Method 2, but I cannot find the Preferences folder inside the registry path of Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences. What I have is just two lines (Default) - (no value) and Bitness - x86.

Hello, do you remember problem with internet explorer that Microsoft forced to use? This is even worse and sooner or later it will ends in juridical problem and heavy millions lost by Microsoft, let's hope sooner, waiting for that,, I move to Linux and already I've ordered Macs

#3 sounds deceptively simple. Does it really work? I have never used outlook and now its making me crazy! GJM

Hello!

Could you please help me with uninstalling the new Outlook from my computer (Windows 11) as I would still like to use the outdated Windows Mail app?

What I tried:

Uninstalled the new Outlook from settings (Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps)
Blocked new Outlook preinstallation via:

Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -AllUsers -Online -PackageName (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName
Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName

Blocked new Outlook installation as part of Mail and Calendar deprecation via:

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where {$_.DisplayName -match "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName {$_.PackageName}
Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package (Get-AppxPackage microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps).PackageFullName

All shell commands were run as Administrator and I also deleted OutlookUpdate folder in Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\Orchestrator\UScheduler_Oobe\OutlookUpdate

I would appreciate any advice regarding my question :)
