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you please help me with uninstalling the new Outlook from my computer (Windows 11) as I would still like to use the outdated Windows Mail app?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

  1. Uninstalled the new Outlook from settings (Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps)
  2. Blocked new Outlook preinstallation via:
  • Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -AllUsers -Online -PackageName (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName
  • Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows).PackageFullName
  1. 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 :)

    Up until today I was able to keep my old email if I just minimized it and only put my computer to sleep. Today, I either transfer to the new program or I am hooped. My next operating system will not be Microsoft, for sure.

    Hi. I've been dealing with the same issue for the last year or so, but there weren't any good

    alternatives on the Windows platform. Now though, I found the same mail app that I was using on my Macbook Pro, and it's just called "Mail". Here is a link to it in the Windows store. Enjoy, and permanently delete your Oulook App and never look back!

    You also can use Vivaldi browser with e-mail inside. In that case you don´t have advertising neither.

    with so many complaints about outlook (new) I think Microsoft should provide a quick fox for people to get rid of it. I never asked for it. When I look at the list of installed apps, outlook new is not there. however, when I initiate an email for a website, outlook new opens. ****?
