When Outlook (new) updated it decided that upon turning on and signing in to my computer, that it would open. I cannot for the life of me find the setting to turn this off. APPS SHOULD NOT OPEN UNLESS I CLICK THE ICON.

I have the same issue, except the outlook program does not show up in the startup tab in either the task manager or any other start up menu. Ive looked in the startup option in Outlook as well and there isnt an option to turn it off or on. Very frustrating to say the least.
Im uninstalling it from the core, I hate this new assumptive startup
Please go to settings -> account -> sign-in options
Scroll to the bottom for "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart"
Turn that option off.
Basically, it doesn't fully close out, so it always comes back at launch. This means that even if you close it on startup, it has already launched and, due to the not closing issue, will never fully close. Lather, rinse, repeat...there it is, next startup.
turn that setting off and it goes away.
- Right-click on the taskbar on your computer and select Task Manager. 2. Go to the Startup tab. 3. Find Outlook in the list Right-click on "Enabled" and click "Disable" to disable it from automatically starting
Unfortunately New Outlook/Mail does not appear in the location you describe.
The other method to change this is Start | Settings | Apps | Startup which shows the same information and also does not show New Outlook/Mail.
In New Outlook/Mail the Settings | General | Start-up is also missing an option to prevent this behaviour.
The program appears to be missing this key feature.
New Teams is also missing from the operating system start-up list described above but in Teams has it's own setting under Settings | General | Application | Auto-start application. This is missing from New Outlook/Mail.
Applies to Outlook Version 1.2024.501.300
I agree, it's not in the start up menu, so how do you disable this???
