Update on the new Outlook for Windows
Hi All,
It’s already a few months since i wrote an Blog Article about New Outlook for Windows - Public Preview.
I have recently watched the Youtube video “Update on the new Outlook for Windows”
They shared the Timeline of the “New Outlook / One Outlook”
You can now provide Feedback. This will give them some valuable Informations on what Functions are missing and inputs for priorization of these Features.
They also provided an Update on the Features

There are now Policies to control switch “Try the new Outlook”
- Policy Setting in Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center
- There are new Administrative Template Files ADMX/ADML
Or you can simply control it via Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General]
"HideNewOutlookToggle"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General]
"HideNewOutlookToggle"=dword:00000001
