    Hi,

    You can download the classic version of Outlook via the link below:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/install-or-reinstall-classic-outlook-on-a-windows-pc

    Select your preferred language, download the file, and then run it as an administrator.

    If you are using the new Outlook and would like to disable it, please follow the procedure below:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/toggle-out-of-the-new-outlook-for-windows
