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.

    UPDATE:

    Well overnight, the rocket scientists at Microsoft released a new version of Outlook with the SAME VERSION NUMBER (2401), but a new build number (16.0.17231.20194). This did NOT remove the annoying App Search bar! The App Search bar is still totally useless as well (i.e. it doesn't work) and there is still no option in File-->Options-->Advanced to turn it off.

    Version History Link from Microsoft to see this for yourself: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel

    Beyond the obvious fact that they didn't fix this issue, I find it disturbing that Microsoft labeled this new release with the same version number (2401). It appears they have done this in the past though with version 2312. At least they changed the build number.

    If you still want to install the new release, you can do manually by navigating to File-->Office Account-->Update Options-->Update Now.

    Eu também estou com o mesmo problema hoje... Ocupa todo o espaço da pesquisa e isso é irritante. Ter uma caixa desse tamanho sem a menor utilidade porque simplesmente não funciona.
