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!

    Workaround 2: 

    If you urgently need to remove the App Search Bar you revert to the build before the issue started.   

    Revert the Office M365 Click-to-Run installation to Version 2312 Build 17126.20132.

    To do this:

    1. Exit all Office applications.
    2. Select Start, type cmd in the Search box, right-click Command Prompt(or cmd.exe), and then select Runas administrator.
    3. In the command prompt dialog window, type the following two command lines, pressing Enter after each command line:

    cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun

    officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17126.20132 4. When the repair is done, open Outlook and selectFile > Office Account. 5. Select Update Options and choose Disable Updates. 6. Add an appointment on your calendar for after February 13th to check back to this topic to confirm the issue is fixed. If it is re-enable updates by clicking File> Office Account > Update Options > Enable Updates.

    same here, Please REMOVE Microsoft, this is VERY inconvenient, unnecessary. just make it optional or something. the search box is TOO small now. Compared to the stupid app search bar

    You can not read what you write. Please take it away.
