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!

Outlook unexpectedly has an App Search bar above the message list
Try updating your Office installation (File > Account > Update Options > Update Now).
The bug should be fixed; see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-unexpectedly-has-an-app-search-bar-above-the-message-list-c1bed629-0d4e-42d4-b66e-877cccb74b47.
I got the same problem too - The App Search box in outlook.
No option to remove it or hide it -- somebody screwed up the code at Microsoft.
Incredibly annoying! Absolute pain..I am not interested in using apps, I don't want apps!It
is rediculous that in this day and age we forced to fit in the same box whether we like it or not! Surely we should have control of what product we want to use and how we use it! I don't want to have to roll back to the preivous version - I want to be able to chose what I use and how I use it!
Microsoft knows damn well that they added this BS aspect to outlook and nobody wants it.
Stop Add **** that nobody wants nor needs.
Let us know how to get rid of this ridiculous waste of space.
This useless Box that is reducing the size of my Search INBOX bar - which I need.
Give us the answers. Fix it. WE need to get rid of this update you did.
