I've been having the issue for a while now (I don't know exactly when it started, but it's become more of a problem now that I work for an agency that requests return packages rather than just the sdlxliffs) that Studio 2019 tries to open Outlook whenever I'm creating a return package, and it is slowly driving me mad. I do not use Outlook, but I am not able to uninstall it since it has become an integral part of Office 365.

How do I stop Studio from opening Outlook? My Studio version is 2019 SR1 15.1.0.44109, and I'm using Windows 10 and Office 365 with all the current updates.

I fixed it Jan 9, 2019

Thank you for your replies! I managed to fix it by starting the account configuration process in Outlook, and after that I no longer get prompted to open Outlook.
