Microsoft’s Outlook Button Blunder: Crash Landing Instead of Classic Return

Microsoft’s new Outlook client is having a button crisis. Clicking “Go to classic Outlook” is causing more crash than class. Instead of a smooth transition back to the familiar, users are met with a disappearing act. But don’t worry, there’s a workaround to bring back your beloved classic Outlook.

Hot Take:

Microsoft seems to have taken “Outlook” a bit too literally with their latest update – as in, “Outlook for crashing!” In a twist of irony, clicking the “Go to classic Outlook” button crashes the new Outlook client instead of returning users to the familiar pastures of classic email. It’s like a magic trick, except the rabbit never comes out of the hat and the magician just leaves the stage. Maybe the button should be renamed to “Go to classic crashland” button. But hey, at least there’s a workaround, and it involves a little trip to the Microsoft Store! So, grab your popcorn and get ready for some email client melodrama.

Key Points:

  • Clicking “Go to classic Outlook” crashes the new Outlook email client.
  • Microsoft is investigating the issue and has provided a temporary workaround.
  • Users can manually download the classic Outlook client from the Microsoft Store.
  • The new Outlook is being force-installed on Windows 10 systems.
  • Previous Outlook issues include crashing when emailing and drag-and-drop failures.
