How do I get rid of Outlook's 'Focused' tab

My Outlook must have been recently updated as I suddenly have 2 new tabs in my Inbox … Focused and Other. Apparently Focused is for important stuff … but how can Microsoft possibly know what's important to me?

I realised I'd missed some emails because of this, so I just want to go back to one tab.

I've found various instructions for differing versions of Outlook, but they all begin by opening the 'cog wheel' for settings … but I don't have that.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks John

Well . . . I was trying again a while ago and suddenly up popped the Settings cog wheel, and I found the Reading section and turned off Focused . . . Hoorah ! :grin:

I then tried to retrace my steps and after about half-an-hour discovered that I had to press-and-hold the 3 dots, not just a quick tap or press.

Problem solved, thank you all very much for your input.

Thanks for the tip, this just happened to me, should ask user if I want something before changing it. Windows as a service is becoming windows as a nuisance
