How do I stop Outlook from opening on startup?
If Outlook opens automatically on your system startup, it might be configured as a startup app. Open the Task Manager and go to the Startup Apps tab. Now, look for Outlook.exe, right-click on it, and select Disable. If Outlook.exe is not there, it might be present in the Windows Startup folder. Open the Run command box and type shell:startup. Click OK after that. Delete the Outlook. exe from there if it exists.
