Switch Back To Classic Outlook

Issue/Question

My computer prompted me to update Outlook today and I hit "ok."  I do not have the "switch back to classic" toggle button.  Any way I can switch back?

Environment

Outlook updated. Once flipped on, the toggle is irrelevant since the "old" version still exists.
