CTOnews.com May 16, according to foreign science and technology media borncity reported that without the permission of IT administrators and users, Microsoft suddenly installed a preview version of Outlook on some devices equipped with Microsoft 365.

According to feedback from some users, Microsoft released a version update in April this year, introducing the "Try the new Outlook" switch into the Outlook app, inviting users to test the new version.

According to the official description of Microsoft, the administrator can hide this Outlook option by modifying the registry option under the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Office\ 16.0\ Outlook\ Options\ General" and changing "HideNewOutlookToggle" to 1.

However, according to users' feedback on the Microsoft Answers forum, Microsoft installed a preview version of Outlook for users without their permission.

The translation part of CTOnews.com is as follows:

My current notebook uses Win10 22H2 updates and uses Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 Click-to-Run.

My device automatically installed Version 2304 / Build 16327.20214 (rel. 25-Apr-2023), prompt me to switch to the "new" Microsoft Outlook.

I was sure I had never turned on this switch, and the next day I was shocked to find that the MS Outlook for Windows UWP application had been upgraded to v1.2023.425.600 without my prior permission.
