I was able to get into my MS 365 Business Standard account and download the office apps on to Windows 2022 Server. The only problem is that it didn't download Outlook (Classic) and I need that version to use the email software I have.

So, I went to the Microsoft App Store in Chrome to get it

When I clicked download, it said "We've downloaded an executable to help you install Outlook for Windows (Classic). Open this file in your downloads to begin installation." But there is no executable file in downloads.

Is it possible somewhere in the Server Manager under Server Roles and or Features that the server can behave more like Windows 10 after clicking some of those boxes and I can get Outlook Classic to download? Thanks.

    Outlook Classic is no longer starting on Windows Terminal Server as of February 2025. Microsoft is transitioning users to the new Outlook app, which is available for Windows Server 2022

    Also there isn't a role available in windows server 2022 that you can use for a Desktop Experience similar to W10 or 11.
