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.

    The steps at this page fixed it for me. It requires editing the registry.

    HATE THIS - we should have a choice. this is NOT convenient and there's no rationale. Why FORCE us into something like this?????????????

    Cathy,

    The change is for many reasons, but the big ones are to bring consistency across apps e.g. Teams, OWA, Outlook.com, etc. and a better location for integrated applications.

    You can set it back to the bottom if needed, Outlook for Windows: New location for the Mail, Calendar, People, and other modules (microsoft.com).

    Set back to the bottom: File, Options, Advanced, uncheck Show Apps in Outlook. Restart Outlook.

    As jarring as it is to initially see, it works well when you get used to it. We had the same feedback internally but after everyone tried it, now most prefer it in the new location.
