how do i log into hotmail?

I don't know how to enter my hotmail

Dear Bev Androl,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

According to your description, you were unable to log into your Hotmail account, Because the New Outlook keeps popping up.

I saw that you chose the Classic Outlook for Windows module. In order to better help you solve your problem, I would like to confirm with you first, can you log in your Hotmail in classic Outlook now? Or do you automatically jump to New Outlook when you open Classic Outlook? You can first describe your problem to me in detail so that I can better understand your problem. Thank you for your patience and cooperation

In addition, you can try the following suggestions to solve the problem that the New Outlook keeps popping up. I hope my suggestions can help you.

1. In the new Outlook for Windows, a toggle switch appears in the upper right corner of the Outlook window. You can turn it off, try opening Classic Outlook again, and check if you can switch back to Classic Outlook.

Depending on the operating system, this toggle button will also be present in the Help option, if you do not find the toggle switch above, you can try to find it in the Help option.

2. If for some reason you don't see the switch in the new Outlook for Windows, try the following troubleshooting steps. For more information, you can refer to Toggle out of the new Outlook for Windows preview - Microsoft Support.

3. In addition, I would like to share with you an additional solution.

1. . First close the New Outlook and Classic Outlook.

2). Find the folder path on disk C:

C: \Users\Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\NewOutlookMigration (name is the username of the current system)

Quick way to get there: hold down Win+R, copy and paste in the run window:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\NewOutlookMigration

3). Create a txt file and name it handoff.txt

(You don't need to enter anything in the file, make sure the file is empty)

4). Then open Classic Outlook and check whether it can be opened normally.

4. Finally, I want to make it clear to you that classic Outlook is part of Microsoft365 paid suite, and New Outlook is a free HTML-based email tool. New Outlook is not an upgraded version of Classic Outlook. If you feel limited in what you can do in New Outlook, I recommend that you uninstall New Outlook directly and you can continue to use the classic version of Outlook.

I hope this information was helpful. If you have any questions, please let me know, I will be happy to help you further.

Have a good day.

Best regards
