Microsoft just installed a new app on everyone’s Windows 10 PCs, and nobody wants it

Users of the latest Windows 10 update have encountered a new Outlook app intended to replace the Mail and Calendar applications, but feedback has been largely negative. The new app is reported to be slower than the previous Mail app, and its reliance on cloud storage has raised privacy concerns. Additionally, the integration of advertisements within the email interface has frustrated users. A third-party tool has been developed to block the installation of the new Outlook app. Microsoft has provided resources to help users manage data usage and optimize their experience with the new app.

Microsoft says Windows Mail app won’t fully disappear, but here is why you won’t want to use it

Support for the Windows Mail app will officially end on December 31. Microsoft encourages users to switch to the new Outlook app, as the Mail app will lose its email functionalities after support ends, making it incapable of sending or receiving messages. Users can temporarily switch back to the UWP version of the Mail app, but it will only serve as a non-functional interface. Microsoft recommends exporting local emails, calendar events, and contacts from Windows Mail to the new Outlook before support concludes.
