Disable New Outlook from appearing in the Taskbar after OOBE (W11 24H2)

This has side effects.
By disabling this reg key you also disable the ability for users to select "Windows spotlight" for their desktop background.

Is there a way to disable the outlook pin while not affecting windows spotlight selection?
im dealing with the same problem, tested a lot of things and still not being able to get rid of the outlook icon while having spotlight, lets hope 25h2 comes without this icon...
 
Maybe my lack of information - but what's important about the Spotlight Screen - for me i'ts only a click from normal Pausescreen where a new user login is selected?
 
Spotlight is the Content Manager delivery service, part of its function is to download new wallpapers which can be selected for the Logon or Lock Screens, and the desktop background. You can't have new wallpapers without enabling Spotlight.

There are 3rd-party apps which can replace those files for you, but not everyone wants to install them.

We no longer have the Windows spotlight wallpapers/lock screens each day, among others
But it is still possible to put the desired wallpaper/lock screen manually (without it changing each day of course)
 
I can - already implemented in install image.
And new images and all the flip flap around from cloud i don't give a's!
 
Same, Spotlight removed, and I change the wallpaper and lock screen myself (in Settings or other)
