Effective Steps to Unlink Todoist from Microsoft Outlook
Removing or deactivating a plugin from a software platform can be confusing, but we aim to make the process as seamless as possible, whether you are using a Mac or Windows PC. We’ll cover both deactivation and complete removal of the Outlook add-in since you might not always want to fully uninstall the tool.
Procedure via Microsoft Office
Begin by launching Outlook and navigating to the “File” tab on your desktop version. Click “Options” to proceed. In the sidebar, you’ll find an ‘Add-ins’ section. Here, click ‘COM Add-ins’, then ‘Go’.
Look for the Todoist add-in in the resulting list. To uninstall, simply select it and click ‘Remove’. Be aware that just ticking the box and pressing “OK” won’t uninstall it.
Manual Removal Outside Outlook
Rather than removing the add-in directly from Outlook, which may be suggested for browser extensions, Todoist should be uninstalled using a more traditional method.
Exit Outlook, then head to the “Start” menu, select “Control Panel”, navigate to “Programs and Features”, and look for “Uninstall a Program”. Alternatively, use the search bar and enter ‘Add or Remove Program’.
Locate Todoist in the program list, uninstall it, and then reboot your device. This should fully remove Todoist from Outlook and is the recommended procedure provided by Todoist’s developers. It’s wise to create a system restore point before doing this.
Deactivating Todoist on Mac or Windows
In Outlook, go to the ‘File’ menu, then ‘Manage Add-ins’. This will launch Outlook on the web. Navigate to “Manage Add-ins”, find the “Enabled” column with Todoist, and uncheck it. Todoist will now be deactivated without actually being uninstalled.
If Todoist isn’t visible, check ‘Find more add-ins for Outlook’. Missing add-ins could mean incorrect installation or a problematic version of Todoist.
No Need for Third-party Uninstallers
Complex solutions involving registry edits or uninstaller software aren’t necessary. The removal is straightforward via your system’s standard uninstallation process or through the Microsoft Office suite. If issues arise, consult Windows Installer Troubleshooter or Apple’s Support for Mac-related problems.
