How do I move the task bar (has apps: mail, tasks, calendar, etc.) back to the bottom of the screen? Is this called the task bar? I can't figure out how to restore the settings. See picture.

    Please make this optional - many people I work with in different agencies do not like this transition.

    Thank you

    The solution was posted in October by Ti Lie (please read before you post)

    Cannot claim it, but can confirm this works:

    Close Outlook, and then in the registry editor, navigate to the following registry key…

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides

    Locate the “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” string value and set it to “false“. If there isn’t a “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” string value in this registry key, create a new string value in this location called “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” and set it to “false“.

    You can now open Outlook again and you should be able to enjoy your Navigation buttons back at the bottom of the screen again.

    Worked great for me as well.

    This is unacceptable. There are 5 Icons on this bar and it now takes up the entire left side of my screen. It means I have to choose between seeing incomplete senders, dates received or Subject lines. What is the point of this?
