Can’t Turn Off Outlook Startup
I can’t make outlook stop running at boot.
Have checked out: Task Manager, Regedit, Task Scheduler, Outlook Preference
And the weirdest thing is that there is no option in Outlook for startup.
I need a solution, Thanks.
Hi Logan , thanks for reaching out.
Ok, I just did some tests on my Windows. On the other hand, I have Windows 11 and not 10, maybe that’s the problem.
I describe to you what I did.
I went to the Windows Settgins, Apps, apps installed, and I clicked on the three little dots at the end of the “outlook (new)” line and chose uninstalled.
The new outlook app and shortcut icon disappeared, so I went to the start menu and clicked on “MAIL”. It didn’t open. (you can test if it does the same thing on your side) If so, follow my next step.
So I did the command in powershell to reinstall the Windows apps
You can open the start menu and type: powershell and select “open as admin” and type the following command: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Then, press ENTER and let it run … can take few minutes.
Reboot pc
There everything came back as it was at the start.
On the other hand, the MAIL shortcut is still in my start menu, if I click on it, at the top right I do “Revert to the old version” and I have access to the old mail app.
The choice will remain saved, so you just have to use this shortcut and discard the other one.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help you further if needed.
