RNalivaika Hello, I'm afraid there isn't a GPO for Focused Inbox (not available at getadmx) and it's also detailed here what you can and can't do https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/setup/configure-focused-inbox?view=o365-worldwide

 

From by browsing the above article my impression is that you shouldn't be able to see the button when disabled. Is the button/feature there for all users?

 

There is a UserVoice which maybe will include more options if rolled out

ChristianBergstrom thanks for your input.

Focused inbox is turned off at organization level, but all the users still see the toggle button in Outlook.

I will give my vote at uservoice. BR, Ruslan
