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!

Really? Disable updates is your solution? You have no issue with with your solution that disabling updates opens up systems to hacks because we will forget to turn auto-updates back on?
Exactly...what is the point of adding something on and it does not even work. Plus, what is it even supposed to do?
I understand programs are updated randomly, but did anyone check the functionality of this "App Search" option before blasting it out to every use?
The February update has added App Search to my Outlook. Please fix this ASAP.

Looks like you need to fix that too.
