This morning Outlook updated and I noticed there is a new search bar to search apps, how may I remove this bar?

I do not use apps, do not want to use apps and have no need to search for them.

If this is related to MS Team and conjoining everything, I still want to remove this app search bar in Outlook.

Please help.

Thank you!

    Why do we have to wait 9 days for an update? Work around 1is a train-wreck, and workaround 2 is useless for me as I am not using 365. Shame on MS!

    Please help us in isolating the issue by providing the following information:

    1. What version of Outlook are you using? See What version of Outlook do I have? (microsoft.com). Could you please provide screenshot for the Product information page.
    2. Have you tried opening Outlook and click on the "File" tab in the top left corner > Click on "Options" in the left-hand menu > In the Outlook Options window, click on "Search" in the left-hand menu > Under the "Sources" section, uncheck the box next to all folders, and remain with outlook only > Under the "Results" section, uncheck the box next to "Show results as I type" > Click on "OK" to save your changes? This should remove the app search bar from your Outlook interface.
