How do I download the "Classic" version of Outlook to my computer? My web hosting service who also supports my email address does not support Microsoft's New cloud-based Outlook app and therefore I need to use the Classic version. I have already downloaded my Microsoft 365 applications to a new computer and cannot figure out how to revert back to Classic Outlook. Thank you for your help.

Is Outlook installed? Outlook.exe is here - you can use Windows key + R to open the Run command and paste the path, including the parenthesis in the run box then press Enter.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"

if you use 32-bit Office, it is here -

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"

If Outlook is installed and new Outlook opens when you click the link, see Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)

If it is not installed, you can download Outlook here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5

    When I open Outlook it starts in New Outlook I toggle it off, it goes off with a dialogue box (after feedback window) telling me it's updating Microsoft 365 and Outlook then it generates the Error 'The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142), Click OK to close the application. I click OK and it does the exact same routine the next time I start Outlook

    Bottom line is I want out of New Outlook, it is terrible, it is slow, and not productive. The classic version was / is amazing help me get back there Thanks
