Outlook 2016 App Search Bar

One of my clients woke to a new search bar in Outlook 2016 right next to the regular search bar, the new search bar is called "App Search", it is bigger than the regular search bar, pushes it aside to the point that it is too small to work with, and the App Search bar itself doesn't work at all, you can click it but nothing happens, I have tried to find a way to remove it but even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole office suite the App Search bar still remains, she has two computers but only one is affected by it.

I would like some help with it, or at least make a notice of it so Microsoft can fix this bug.

    You can do the following, it worked for me. It's a temp. fix.

    I copied it from a post from user: ElissaMaxine Karpf

    you can Run Commmand with Run as administrator

    And paste this on command Prompt it will work.

    “C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe” /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17029.20108

    Is this supposed to take a VERY long time? I've had the "Downloading Microsoft 365 and Office Updates" screen loading for at least 20 minutes.

    Please fix this stupid annoying APP search bar update - it dosen't work and so far I cannot remove it

    I don't want this thing stuck there taking up space that I need when I want to search for mails etc.

    How can Microsoft put something there without the option of removing it is beyond me

    Come on Microsoft get rid of this thing or at least tell us how it can be removed.

    I face the same problem and I completely agree with you.

    Why did Microsoft put this USELESS 'APP Search" field in my Outlook (Office 2019 version) ?
