How to switch back to the classic view in Outlook

A. Switch between classic Outlook and New Outlook.

  1. Open Outlook.
  2. Navigate to the Outlook menu.
  3. Uncheck the option for the New Outlook.
  4. Click the Revert button.
  5. Allow the application to revert to the Outlook Classic view.

If you don’t see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, troubleshoot with these steps:

  1. Launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu, not the new Outlook (identified by the “New” tag).
  2. Open the Registry Editor by typing “Registry Editor” in the Start Menu search and selecting the app.
  3. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences.
  4. Find and double-click on “UseNewOutlook” at the bottom of the list.
  5. Set the Value Data field to 0.
  6. Attempt to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu.

Or UNINSTALL THE NEW OUTLOOK APP

Step 1: Open the Start menu and click the gear-shaped icon to open the Settings app.

Step 2: Use the left pane to switch to the Apps tab and click on Installed apps.

Step 3: Scroll through the list or use the search bar at the top to locate Outlook (new) on the list. Click the three-dot menu icon next to it and select Uninstall.

Step 4: Select Uninstall again to confirm.
