I need to return to my classic Outlook. I need to turn off new toggle. I can't. Help
NebilSedki Try this if you're looking for what I think you are (and what I was):
In Outlook, click on the File menu and then select Options int eh Lower Left of the screen/window.
In the Options window, select Advanced from the bottom area of the list on the left.
In Advanced, immediately below where it wants you to Customize Outlook Panes in a checkbox to "Show Apps in Outlook".
Uncheck that box and restart Outlook like it says you need to.
- These steps definitely work: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/toggling-out-of-the-new-outlook-for-windows-preview-ec102b39-5727-418e-ae1f-a1805434640c
Going back to classic Outlook for Windows
If you toggled into the new Outlook for Windows preview from classic Outlook for Windows, every time you try to launch classic Outlook for Windows you'll be redirected to the new Outlook for Windows preview. You can go back to classic Outlook for Windows by selecting the toggle in the new Outlook for Windows app.
If for some reason you don’t see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps:
Make sure you try to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu, not the new Outlook for Windows. The new Outlook for Windows has a “New” tag on its app icon. For classic Outlook, select the icon without a “New” tag.
From the Windows Start Menu, type “Registry Editor” in the search box and select the Registry Editor app.
Navigate to the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
Scroll to the bottom of the list to and double click on UseNewOutlook.
Enter 0 in the Value Data field.
Attempt to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu.Reese78 - Thanks, your method works.
Great. all other solution is useless except yours. thanks Reese78
Reese78 Please can anyone help! Been going out of my tiny mind all day! - I have happily gotten rid of new Outlook for ages now and just ignore the toggle. However - this morning my laptop has decided it will ONLY log in to Office's view of Outlook and I hate it!! I want the classic CLASSIC view back thank you!?
The other soltions on here don't work for me - I've tried the registry thing - I have no 'UseNewOutlook' option, just 'NewOutlook' and nowhere to add the data value!
I have uninstalled the new one and have the classic one on the laptop - but the icon is not the normal 'old plain envelope', it is the one with an O on it (Office), though that is not the New Outlook, it is STILL not what I want!!! I don't call that my classic Outlook ! What can i do!?
I have tried the clicking on file / view, there are no settings to alter it!
thank you so much for any help !
