Hi,

On the new outlook, It's not picking up the dark mode when selecting "use system settings". I have to select "dark". On my other computer works fine. My system settings is set on dark mode. For more information, I have attached screenshots. Thanks for your help.

    Hi! Reinstall Outlook. That should fix it.

    Windows 11

    1. Open Windows Settings (Press WINDOWS + I keys) > Select "Applications" > "Installed Applications".
    2. Search for the application you want to uninstall > Click 3 Points > Uninstall > Wait for the program to be uninstalled > Restart your computer.

    Windows 10

    1. Open Windows Settings (Press WINDOWS + I keys) > Select "Applications" > "Applications & Features".
    2. Browse and select the application you want to uninstall > Click Uninstall > Wait for program to be uninstalled > Restart computer.

    Download and install New Outlook again:
