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!

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.
Am having the same issue as everyone else here...
But would like to add a request:
Please stop making these nonsensical changes to the programs that we've been using for well over 20 years.
If it actually makes the program work better, great!
However, by and large, they don't.
You're just reaching for fancy new bells and whistles that are totally unnecessary, unwarranted, and underappreciated.
In fact, I'd be willing to bet that most of your customer base is 30+ years old and would prefer things to change as little as possible.
And we really don't like it when you rearrange the user interface.
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.
Same Issue here !
