navigation bar moved to left
I didn't have the registry key so I created a new string key Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar and modified it to have value false and restarted Outlook... Boom, the HubBar is back at the bottom... Thanks ! DanLhotka
can you provide screen shots of what you did and how you did it? I am not the most technical person. I can get in the registry editor but if I have to create a new string I am not sure how to do this to make it work. I am sure there are others on here in the same situation and any help you can provide would be appreciated.MarkDJ-icon
- I believe there are 2 ways to fix this depending on whether your Outlook screen has the "Coming Soon" button on the top right (if it does, turn it off!)
If you don't have the Coming Soon button, ShadowSong42's fix (elsewhere in this string) worked for me:
1) Open REGEDIT (*Note* - if you're not familiar with Registry edits, ask someone who is - making the wrong changes here can seriously screw things up...):
2) Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides
3) Look for a String Value called "Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar"
4) If it's there, change it from True to False. If you don't find it, you can simply add it.
5) Restart Outlook
2) Everyone else.
For- Absolute legend. Worked for me!
It's absurd that Microsoft, for all it's touting of accessibility and user first focus, would FORCE a UI change like this. It should be an optional setting. If anyone from the office team reads this: you need to hire some new managers tbh. Stradivarius001
Thank you So very much
Not everyone uses landscape mode.
I personally run in portrait mode, and this wastes almost 3/4 of an inch of the 13.5 inches of horizontal space completely wastes 13.5 sq. inches of screen space because it makes a huge empty section down the side because I only use 4 items in that navigation bar.
I really hope they makes this a configurable option.- Changing the keys to False in either key is a temporary fix - when the feature is no long experimental, the keys will be disabled/removed.
The hub value should be in one of these two locations, depending on the channel.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\outlook
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides
