I need to return to my classic Outlook. I need to turn off new toggle. I can't. Help
I obviously am not computer literate but I must get back to the classic Outlook. I have had my company email for years and it has the name of our company. The directions to get from the new Outlook...
This instantly worked for me. Soon as I typed Outlook.exe into the Run box, it instantly launched Outlook Classic. I now have the toggle in the upper right hand corner should I ever change my mind (fat chance!).
Thank you!
Thank you!

hey there. Nope. My copy of Windows kind find Outlook.exe. I get the following message:
Windows cannot find 'Outlook.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
I have run into the problem any number of times on my system. I suspect I have some kind of "indexing" turned off somehow. But as of right now this fails.
- No one would ever accuse me of being a geek, but in the Settings app choose "Privacy & Security" from the left-hand side. Select "Searching Windows" option, scroll to the bottom of the page to "Indexer troubleshooter" Click on that and a popup offers, among other options, to troubleshoot "Outlook search doesn't return results." Have you tried running that trouble shooter? (I made a couple of screenshots for you, but I now see I can't attach them.)
- Hey there.
I have, I think, the best solution.
Open Start menu
Go to Settings.
Go to apps
Select Default apps.
In the list in the main window there is a section called Email.
Click on whatever is in there, I got a list of apps I could choose as my default.
On my system "outlook" was what was there. On that list I saw "Mail".
I looked at that and realized that Old Outlook used to be called "Windows Mail".
So I clicked on Mail.
Now under the Email section it said Mail
That propagated through my system to the extent that the Icon for mail I had already pinned to my task bar was automatically switched over to the older "Windows Mail" and that got me what I was after, the older version of Outlook.
