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.

    I agree with a LOT of other commenters. DONT make these kind of changes without giving us the option to NOT use them.

    This will be very inconvenient, especially since there is no ability to personalize the tiles, etc. I use Shortcuts all the time to navigate to the mail folders I use the most. Now its gone and you have added hours of wasted time to my week.

    Please STOP assuming that you know what WE, the users, want!

    Hi! I don't even have the Coming Soon option anymore. Any other ideas how to change it back? I rebooted Outlook and it didn't revert.

    Hi, Alec.

    I'm Jen, I'm also an Outlook user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

    Did you make recent changes like installing an update before this happened? Please try clicking the Folder pane icon then in the drop-down menu select Options > uncheck the box next to Compact Navigation.

    Feel free to share how it went.

    Kind regards.
