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.

    I also woke up to this annoying and non-functional search bar. And I also do not have any App option available in Settings.

    This is getting so annoying. I woke up today to work on my computer and this
    APP search bar on my Outlook interface is taking up so much space. I can't use

    Eleni,

    Can you please address this issue wiht the APP search bar?
    It is really making it difficult to work on my Outlook. I use the regualr
    search bar all day for work and the APP search bar takes up all the space.
