Not sure how this happened but the new outlook is easily the worst piece of software I have ever seen. That takes into account MS-Dos and Win 95 disasters.
No clue why on earth they would force this garbage on us, when most of us used to say how great outlook was......
I MUST get back to classic now and how can I do it as it dropped all my other email accounts and created armageddon
NEED answers now
Thanks you
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I just started my pc and on top of outlook was a message that the next time I start outlook it will be the new outlook so MS is now forcing the new version upon us even though we elected to keep the classic version. SHAMEFUL!!! If they do this I will not renew my 365 subscription.
I was able to solve my problem that the new outlook could not show my display name. But I am replying here because it has been the most incredibly frustrating experience I have had in years. Microsoft Outlook is a complete disaster - why is it still such a horrible product and user experience so many months after launch?
Where is the revert button? (step 4)
Kerry Chen,
Thank you for your suggestions. More importantly, thank you for providing the opportunity for feedback.
Objective: Stop "New" Outlook from running. It's bad enough when "New" Outlook opens when you don't want it, but I got really mad when I couldn't use the Share Command in Word to access "Classic" Outlook to send an email. I had to open "Classic" Outlook first, then open email, open a new message, select the attach command, navigate to the document to attach it, and THEN hit send. I can't tell you how pissed off this made.
So then I found your instructions to shut down "New" Outlook completely - but now even your instructions don't work! This really stinks, and now I'm wasting at least 30-45 minutes just trying to communicate the problem.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
My Configuration: Win 11 Home, Version 10.0.26100, running Outlook 365 locally. I'm the admin for the domain name vs-2.com.
Problem: RE: Your response to Pabmarc -
In your first set of instructions, #3. there is no "New Outlook" option - or at least I can't find it after searching through the right column for each item in the whole list on the left
In your second set of instructions, #4. there is no "UseNewOutlook" item where I can enter a Value Field of "0". I tried to attach a screen shot image of the registry for you, but I don't see how to attach an option on this reply.
The only good news is that I'm not alone hating "New" Outlook. I looked at some reviews after encountering this issue and realized how unpopular it is. I just thought it was my personal objection to the bloated UI that uses so much of my desktop space with large fonts and icons that don't explain what they do, plus the fact that you need to re-learn how to use "New" Outlook when "Classic" Outlook works just fine! But now I know it's even worse when I can't seem to get rid of it, especially now when I've wasted over an hour on this! I hope it helps someone else also.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Appreciatively in advance,
Thomas Wetmore
Good morning,
This is not working for me. Tried to taggle the switch and ask for survey and just close. Classis Outlook never open. Tried multiple times and same. Uninstalled Outlook and now i don't have any Outlook at all. Try re-installing Office, but no Outlook installation is performed. Hate when Microsoft just put things harder for users and it support personnel.
Can anyone help?
