New Outlook App Opening Multiple Windows? [Quick Fix]

New Outlook App Spawning Random Windows? Here's a Fix!

Having trouble with the New Outlook app constantly opening new windows? You're not alone! This recent bug has been causing headaches for users who suddenly find themselves drowning in a sea of email windows. Thankfully, there's a quick fix that seems to be working for many.

What's the issue?

After a recent update, the New Outlook app has developed a habit of opening a new window for every incoming email. This can lead to dozens of windows cluttering your screen, especially if you receive a lot of emails.

The Fix:

The culprit appears to be a setting related to background permissions. Here's how to adjust it:

1. Go to your Windows PC's Settings.
2. Select "Apps" and then "Installed apps."
3. Find "Outlook (new)" in the list and click on it.
4. Tap on the three dots to access the "Advanced options" menu.
5. Go to "Background app permissions."
6. Set it to "Never" to prevent Outlook from opening multiple windows.

Other Solutions:

• Check Startup Programs: Some users have reported that Outlook was set to launch automatically on startup. Disabling this could help.
• Uninstall and Revert: If the issue persists, consider uninstalling the New Outlook app using a tool like Revo Uninstaller. You can always rely on the browser version of Outlook in the meantime.

Microsoft's Response:

While there's no official word from Microsoft yet, they typically address user concerns quickly. In the meantime, these workarounds should help you regain control of your Outlook experience.
