navigation bar moved to left
Close Outlook, and then in the registry editor, navigate to the following registry key…
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides
Locate the “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” string value and set it to “false“. If there isn’t a “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” string value in this registry key, create a new string value in this location called “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” and set it to “false“.
You can now open Outlook again and you should be able to enjoy your Navigation buttons back at the bottom of the screen again.
MVP Thanks soooo much!
To the Microsoft team: stop messing around with interefaces! We don't need ANY NEW garbage. Office just works as it is. You didn't learn anything from the Ribbon disaster and backlash?
Instead of wasting time on this why don't you fix powerpoint charts which suck since the beginning time?
- Thank you,
I did try this but no changesAdd string value Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar to this key and set it to False, then restart Outlook. (It's only a short term fix, although right now, we don't know how short term.)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\outlook
If you don't want to edit the registry, I have a ready to use reg file at the end of this article -
