Outlook Groups WIndows 10 App removed for PC ?

Hi, i can't install the Windows 10 UWP App on our computers anymore. It seems that's now only available for Windows 10 Mobile ??  Any notice about that ?   Thanks

Can't find it either, but on a PC I'd definitely prefer to use the OWA experience anyway :)

      Stefan why not leverage Outlook 2016 which is deeply integrated with groups?

        Hi Christophe, we are all using Outlook 2016, but especially with the tablets in tablet mode the app was much faster for basic tasks...
