A new "App Search" field has appeared to the right of the normal Search field. I can't seem to find any information on the articles explaining what this is or how to remove it. The "App Search" field also doesn't do anything. You can't type anything where it says App Search and nothing happens when you click the magnifying glass. A couple of things that have already been attempted:
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Absolutely. I want this removed as well. I'm not buying MS apps in my corporate software.
Nobody wants to fix it, they want to remove it.
Same issue here, just automatically happened here and I didn't apply any Windows updates. This is an extremely intrusive practice that has My company and my clients highly frustrated. MS operating just like Intuit Quickbooks software with their hidden "behind the scene's" updates on people computers is absolutely unacceptable. If anything, if this type of practice continues IT companies are going to have to move to a more Open source solution.
Same problem on Outlook/Office Professional Plus 2016 on desktop.
Appeared with an update this morning.
Takes up WAY too much real estate on a laptop.
Is there a way I can roll it back?
I only noticed a Windows update forcing a reboot, didn't see an update specifically for Office.
Very unimpressed with the latest UI obstruction on Outlook. Exact problem what everyone else here has reported - please FIX it!!
The registry modification solution suggested by another user unfortunately did not work for me.
