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you please help me with uninstalling the new Outlook from my computer (Windows 11) as I would still like to use the outdated Windows Mail app?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

    Microsoft may be mistaking in how pissed and aggrieved their users are over icrosoft hijacking our computers forcing us to use

    Something we do not want.

    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.

    I have given up fighting windmills. To delete the "mail with advertising" ( Microsoft calls this "new mail") is not a problem , but the functionality of mail&agenda is not the same anymore.

    Another solution is Linux!

    I just installed it and use Mozilla Thunderbird Mail: without advertising!
