How to turn off the new software bar on the left?

As far as I know, this navigation bar was part of the redesigned.

Horizontal navigation bar before was redesigned to a vertical navigation bar.

Hi Anna, hope you're doing well. I’m Ian, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you.

May you try to check using different browser if this issue persist?

This is a user-to-user support forum and I am a fellow user.

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you for the link. That one is really helpful.
<br />I must say that I was apalled by the lack of support from Microsoft side... such a bic corporation, making good money with their products but really wieseling out of customer support. shame.
<br />Thank you again for all the help!
<br />Best of luck

May I know why my response is not helpful?

Ah, I think it is probably the translation then. I use the german interface and it asks me: "was the problem solved by this answer". for me the problem is that the nav bar is now on the side and that I can not hide it. so therefore I answered "no". of course there is no answer that can solve that problem .
<br />from our communication I understood that there is no solution to my problem. and that was very helpful. therefore 5 stars all the way.
<br />if you want, I can rate the last answer with "yes". would that work for you?
