Outlook Opens Up....

[ennersdale]

Hi there,
Every time I start my PC, I have to log-in with my outlook password which then opens up my email account so it's accessible on the bottom task bar.

How can I change this, so when I turn on my computer my outlook account does not open up?

Thank you.

Right click, Unpin from task bar?

For Windows 10, see here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4026268/windows-10-change-startup-apps

For earlier versions of Windows click the Start button. Type 'msconfig' into the search box. Click on 'msconfig' in the results field above it. Click the 'Startup' tab. Remove the tick against Outlook. Click 'Apply' and 'OK'. (Note: When you next start your computer you might see a message telling you that you're in a fault-finding mode - I can't remember the exact wording. If you see that message simply click on 'Do not show this message again').

Googling suggests that you're not the first to have this problem. Trying to find a valid solution though is somewhat harder!

See if this helps (but, of course, deleting the shortcut rather than adding it):
