The_Tech_Guy_2020 Hello Oscar, not many people are happy with the new feature/location. In the build you updated to there's not possible to use the previously existing "Coming Soon" toggle. In the earlier versions you had the option to toggle the feature off so that the search bar was located at it's legacy location. If you haven't seen the toggle "Coming Soon" before it could be that your admin has disabled it with a policy.

ChristianBergstrom  Sure I can understand that, to me i like the update, but the problem comes where I can right click to paste. 

 

I was wondering is this something i can fix or is this on Microsofts side

    Same issue with one of my users. Right mouse button context menu works literally everywhere you click in Outlook except the Search bar. Hopefully they fix or allow it soon.

      scottschramm OK it seems like its something Microsoft is having issues with as a glitch or they themselves disabled.

       

      Well Thanks for the info.
