If you use Outlook a lot, it’s probably one of the first applications you start when you boot up your computer. If that’s the case, you can tell Windows to start Outlook with all your other applications.

If you want to stop Outlook from launching when Windows starts, just go back to the Startup folder, right-click on the Microsoft Office Outlook icon, and click Delete.
