How to remove "New Outlook" from windows 10?

Question

We recently encountered an issue after receiving an update that introduced the "new Outlook" on our Windows 10 system. Seens our Office 365 basic work email doesn't permit the use of Outlook desktop we would like to stick to windows mail as our desktop mail software.

As stated, previously, we seamlessly utilized Windows Mail with our work email. However, despite attempting to revert back to Windows Mail, the issue persists after each reboot and we are presented with the new outlook. Therefore, we're seeking guidance on how to completely uninstall the new Outlook from our Windows 10 system to prevent this from happening.

Answer 1

Yeap, it's just like a virus / malware that you can't get rid of. and shamless and stupid :)

Answer 2

Neither of those keys exist. Should they be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? I've got an HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook but that's as far as it goes.

It would be easier if they get IMAP/SMTP/POP3 running in New Coke. I mean New Outlook. If Microsoft is trying to force <microsoft proprietary email> onto us by simply not supporting email protocols that have existed since time began, they are going to find themselves on the long end of that short pier. I personally don't care what email client I'm using as long as it works. So far New Coke, oops, I mean New Outlook just doesn't work. I'll move on if Microsoft doesn't.

I mainly use my personal google account anyway. I just use outlook for work - and work uses some garbage email company because it's cheap. I have no skin in this game. I just want it to work and I seriously don't care how it's done. Right now New Coke doesn't work. I mean New Outlook. The problem is New Coke comes up by default. Every. Single. Time. I can't read company email with it.

Answer 3

It's beyond stupid and bordering on ridiculous now. Yesterday, I uninstalled the new outlook at least three times and it would reinstall itself shortly thereafter. I've tried some recommended registry hacks and recommended deletion of a particular .json file -nothing works. Apple lost me as a loyal customer back in the 90's. Microsoft has me now looking for alternatives. There just doing this for the ad revenue and to push 365.

Answer 4

Uninstalling the "new outlook" does not work. After uninstalling, when you click to open Window Mail, it prompts you to the Windows Store to download the "new outlook". Very frustrating.
