If other users run Dynamics 365 for Outlook on the same device, those users should sign out of Microsoft Windows before uninstalling Dynamics 365 for Outlook. This is especially true for Citrix or Remote Desktop environments where additional sessions are common and should be closed before uninstalling Dynamics 365 for Outlook.
