Disable app button under located start menu button

Hello everybody,

After a recent update to Zorin 17.2 a new button (App...) has appeared under the start menu button by itself and I cannot find a way to disable it.

Does anybody know how to do it?

I suspect it's the shortcut for Applications Overview. Not sure why the icon is not showing, though.

Right-click the taskbar -> Taskbar Settings -> Position tab, and toggle Show applications button or Applications button, either one of the two. See if that makes a difference.

That is not it.

If I toggle Applications button (or activities, in case you meant that, since they have similar names), it will create additional button(s) underneath, but that app... will remain there:

If I make the taskbar really wide, it says Applications:

Hmm ... it could be the Applications Extension. When You click on it, does it look similar to this:

Do You have the Extension Manager installed? If not, please open Gnome Software and search for it. It looks like this:

When You have installed it, open it and on the ''Installed'' Tab scroll to this one:

Look if it is active and if yes, trun it off.
